Damn Chris, you don't mess around. My friend called me back about two hours after I gave you his number and said,"he already paid me for it".

the car is extremely solid and will be a great project can't wait to see it change into something cool, I have watched it sit for too long.

Are you going to pain this one "plated" or are you going to go with something else?

Cute car Chris. Now give it some balls!

I say you leave the exterior the way it is and make it a fast as hell sleeper...for now.
Start taking it apart and get it out to Rigid!

engine compartment is sprayed.(posted pics) black will be one of the 2 colors or 3 or 4 of the colors that i will be using on the car.i have got the best idea on how i will be painting the car.i figured trying to top the last paintjob i had would be hard:nono: this one will be ass kickin and one of a kind. uhh the best way i could explain it is,it will have 2 personalitys,and i guess u could call it a 2 toned:smokin: orderd all my suspension parts thru dayton50. as well with all the other parts for the car,mike bell will also be assembling my shortblock and wiring the car,mike is also tunning the beast:smokin: waiting on kmember and other front end parts to show up to assemble the front half:)
