WOW....seems like such a short time ago you were showing us new paint and engine pictures! That came out just amazing. I know you took some flack with some of the boards, but its your car, and to me its awesome.
How was the reaction to the car at the show? You bag some awards with it??
Good to hear you made it...you earned it with that time table!
Thanks for the update

Be proud, looks great. Doesn't really matter what others think anyway, I've had people dump on my projects too. You have to do what you like.

Here is another idea: Kris needs to do some posters to raise money for rent. :D Buy the posters of Stuart's car to support this site though. It's definitely a good cause. :cool:
But by all means, sweet talk away! :thumbsup:
Beautiful Chevelle by the way, congrats on getting it done and looking so sharp!

mmmmmmmmmm....car porn
Yeah...whats up with last! From the pictures the only thing I could pick out not complete was some of the interior, looked like under the dash, pedals, and maybe carpet were not completed. Sorry if they are and I am just being dumb!
Well, next year come back with it finished to their liking, and get yourself a trophy.

no your right. some wires were hanging there (tucked up for the show) missing a dash vent, carpet was just thrown in there and the concole wasn't totally screwed in there. i was in mild hardtop class. i was against a few nice cars. i figured id get totally last place, one of the cars had a polished block even. but just getting it there was enough for me. :willy:

Well, we certainly have you down for 1st class and with what you accomplished in the short time line - a star for sure.... :thumbsup:
You are our motivation, or mine at least. Well done!
