Not bad!
I'm jealous of guys like you that can take the time to do it like that. Right now I'm just in a jam trying to get the basics done so she runs well and then i will add the cool stuff later. FOr awhile, all i'm going to have is a nice painted body with an engine in it! Kepp up the good work and keep us posted. I might share a few pics eventually, but it''l be awhile...

Looking great Greg. Bold enough to announce a projected date for the first ride yet? Or has it already happened?

She is looking great. I guess we know what you are bringing to Knoxville next year. Really can't wait to see her there. Keep up the great work.

Can't say "when" for sure, guys.Too many "little" things to do on her along with other "projects"(son blows motor in 96 GT),(possibly building bigger garage in back yard) etc.,etc.
Yeah,she has been ridden already..........about 40 times back and forth accross the front lawn to pack in the new grass seed.Neighbors were real proud of me! I said "well, where I come from......."
