| The blue one is a cream puff! Absolutely immaculate. :aok That poor 4 speed car has definitely seen better days. Looks like 3rd gen Camaro bucket seats in it. Love your build, always glad to see some variety added to the mix. As for traction... I am going to try kiling some power down low with my ti... |

I finally had some spare time last Friday. Stripped the driver's side fender, you guessed it... more bondo. 
I am off for a week from the 7th -13th, going to attempt to get the rest of the paint, etc stripped off the car. |

| Got the truck on the dyno last month. It developed a misfire, I wasn't able to resolve it that day. But, got it start and idle great. I finally figured it out yesterday, had one bad injector.
