    Awesome!!! Love the color! Love the whole thing. Great job!

    IM guessing by all the plastic sheet hanging from the garage walls you painted it yourself in the garage. If so man that turned out amazing!

    Look at the floor and the haze on the walls too, I would say he did and it is really nice looking. (y)

    Thomas,

    The car looks fantastic!

    Will I get to see it in person at the Route 66 Rendezvous this year?

    I will be looking for it!

    Regards,

    Looks Sharp!

    Maybe I missed it, maybe I forgot. Tell us what is under the hood.
    Also, I can't figure that license plate out.

    I like the color. Any striping going on this one?

    Good job, man. Tell Derrick Yee to get the cameras ready.

    Also where did you come by the valance with the molded in spoiler, is that hand fabricated or did you make another kit work?

    Looking at the engine, I'm assumeing it's going to have carb? Man, with that much work already done, I think I would have to go EFI.

    I like the color. About the same color I painted mine earlier this year. I get lots of compliments on the color. I'm sure you will also. That color just looks awesome on these cars. Very nice indeed. Can't wait to see it all together...
