Thanx..will do.
Will drive it all over...the west coast..do some shows..parades etc.
Ended up manufacturing a whole bunch of parts for it..steel parts and aluminum castings..lots of r&d and $$ investments in that alone..even brcewayne on here was hitting me up for free parts...much as I'd like to help out..guys gotta make a living too.

Default Finished.

Built both cars same time. 89 is cool but 66 is way more fun to drive...even if it's a Ford.
