    Fantastic work! Sure has come a long way.
    I hope to see in a few magazines too. Make sure they cover more than just the paint and the wheels and tires though. You've done so many unique things to that car I would hate to see an article that just scratches the surface.

    Hope you bring your cars to the Knott's show next spring...I would love to see it in person. Are there more details about the car somewhere? Looks great!

    Terrific ride, I am really impressed. Nice and clean engine compartment, great color, unique ideas. Its a work of art. It would look nice with a set of those SVO/Roush sidepipes but looks great just the way it is.(y) (y)

    This is the only picture I could find right now of the begining. The car was in great shape I picked it up for $500 not running.

    Here are some of the details 86 Jaguar XJ6 front and rear suspension, threw floor subframe connectors, street boss 302 with Aussi heads, custom 3/4" equal lenth headers, 2 1/2" exhaust with X pipe, T-5 trans, 99 mustang hydro booster, wilwood master cylinder, hydraulic clutch, custom fabricated grill, boxed radiator support, cowl to firewall seal removed and welded, fender wheel opening modified, 17x9 Y2K cobra R wheels 275/45 rear and 255/40 front, comet hood scoop, fox body hood hinges, gas hood struts, drip rail shaved, pinto door handles, custom fabricated wiper arms, 2003 ford maverick emblems, rear wheel spats (the little thing in front of the wheel),89 ford probe fuel filler door, custom fabricated 20 gal fuel tank, custom fabricated tail light bezels, simi truck 60 LED lights, licence plate moved to old gas filler spot, rear bumper plate notch filled in, center exit exhaust at old plate, custom fabricated exhaust bezel, four bucket seats, custom fabricated dash, Granada hood latch, inside hood release, power windows & door locks, and a 94 Thunderbird instument panel

    Details still being worked out; air box to make the hood scoop functional, center consol, side stripes similar to grabbers, 26 curcuit universal wiring harness, remote trunk and fuel door release.

    I'm shooting for Fabulous Fords for the roll out but, it may not have the interior finished.
