Sweet ride. You did a nice job and now you get to enjoy it. Can't wait to get to that point with my project.

I love the hockey stick stripe in argent. Real subtle.

Perfect!!! Just goes to show you don't have to have a street rod style smooth firewall to have a nice car. ;)

No offence to anyone here with a smooth firewall :_paranoid :lol:

I'm hurt ( well not really ) - I did three different firewalls on my project and I ended up with a smooth one in the end.

ps - next project won't have a smooth firewall.

Yours is a little different. Its just of my opinion that in the next 5-10 years the trend will be over and someone will be making a fortune repoducing OEM firewalls for all those with muscle cars that will want to be un-smooth again. :yes:

Sorry to highjack. Back to giving props to this incredible looking car.

Nice meeting you Friday Justin. I hope you finally dried out. I think I seen you at DSE too, just as I was pulling out. We picked up our subframe, looked around a bit, ate quickly and had to head home.

I was really diggin your car. Keep us posted on any future updates.

If you ever get down near Kingsport, drop by the shop and visit.

we finally got some good weather on saturday. I enjoyed talking with you, you really know your stuff. I wish I could have met you sooner in my build. The car was picked by Chevy Rumble to be in a feature. I will keep you posted.

Hey Justin,

On my way to work this morning your car was mentioned on the radio. One of the guests of the show (I cant remember if it was 107.1 or 105.3) talked about a car show in Giles county and the fact that a couple of high profile cars from the Goodguys show were from the Giles area.

He also mentioned the photo shoot with Chevy Rumble.

Congrats again man, pretty awesome accomplishment. Make sure and let me know which issue you will be in, I need a copy for my garage wall.

Take it easy,
-Nick
