It WILL be at Indy....finished or not. Just kidding. I know they guys have been busting some ass to get it ready. It should be one of the nicest 57's out this year.

Cant wait to see it at indy!

Congrats to you, your dad, Kenny D and Travis for the nice write-up in this months Chevy Rumble magazine. :thumbsup:
Cant wait to see the car in person either.

That's a beautiful color. :thumbsup: Is that a custom mix? If not, can you share the paint code?
