The car turned out great! Looking forward to seeing it. :thumbsup:

Thanks Ken! It was a great time! I believe there was 1000 to 1100 cars there? I took like 2 pics the whole weekend, I wish I would have taken pics of your car. I also didn't get a chance to take pics of the mid engine 67 Mustang.

The award was for one of the top 10 Street Machines of the show. It was pretty cool. It's too bad that the rain came late Saturday because that night would have been awesome on the Dells Parkway. I'll definitely be back next year.

The car drove great, no issues at all. On the highway going 75, I got 22mpg, and the overall mileage with a bunch of town driving, in and out of the car show, screwing around Friday night on the Parkway, it got 20mpg. I'm happy with that. In total, I put 370 miles on it. The car rides great - firm but not harsh, the Corsa mufflers are awesome, cruising down the road at 75, you can't even hear them. After about an hour of driving, my 7 year old son fell asleep for about 15 minutes. lol

My wife took a quick video of us driving down the interstate, gives you an idea of the stance.
