:lol:

Yea, he's gonna have to throw a lot of newspapers to get those parts on his car. :lol:

Its looking really good. I wish mine was this far along.

Which parts are we referring to? Two years from now I will finally be able to make a judgement on the trickle down theory if Trevor's car has Hooker headers, Fikse wheels, a 402 LS engine, etc.

Matt

Well one thing's for sure, I'm not giving him my Turnkey engine. Those LS2s are known to bust tie-down straps while on the dyno. And that's just too much power for a youngster. :rofl:

Here's some shots of the exhaust that Jimmy Warner (Warner's Mufflers in Oceanside :thumbsup: ) installed:

Wow Bryan you most like a little kid this car is getting so close? And is it coming out so sweet :thumbsup: . Any idea when you should get to drive it?

It looks great now when you have a chance we need to hear it!

Thanks guys. Yea, I'm definitely excited to get her on the road. Car goes up to Eric Thorsen Monday for the interior. I just made a quick road trip to Phoenix to pick up my radiator from Ron Davis.

Should be able to drive it in about 2 1/2 weeks. Good Guys Del Mar if all goes well. :woot:

I'll post a video. :thumbsup:

Looking good. Can almost see the finish line I bet :)

What wheel and tire did you end up going with?

Thanks. I went with 18 inch Fikse FM5s. Gloss black centers with polished hoops. 9inch on the front and 11inch in back. Nitto NT555s. 275s and 395s.

Is there a such a thing as a finish line with these cars? Not from what I've seen. So, I guess I'm almost to the starting line. :lol:

395s Bryan? :D

Come on Ron! The man just went to Arizona and back in less than 12 hours! He's gotta be tired. Jeez :D

What Kind of person would do something like that??

Matt

What's a digit or two between friends. :lol:

Great stuff Bryan. Looks really good.
Love the wheel choice!:thumbsup:

Alchemy was delivered today to Eric Thorsen for the interior work. :thumbsup:

Some pictures of the Ron Davis radiator, Budnik steering wheel, door handles and lock, cowl panel, windshield and windshield trim install. If everything goes well, when she gets back BOS will take a couple days to finish things up and we should be able to have the car at GG Del Mar. :woot:

how much did that radiator cost ya

Looks sweet

Definately lookin good, getting close now....

Wow. Almost there!

That'a a homerun B! Gaps, lines, paint, theme...:hail: :hail: :hail:

Tell D*ck his radiator plumbing skills are slippin' :lol:

Looks incredible! Can't wait to see the interior.

Man, that looks killer!

Thanks alot guys!! I'm really itchin' to drive the car but in a strange way I'm kinda bummed. The process of building/restoring the car is coming to a close and it's been an incredible experience for Trevor and me. Of course, driving the beast is gonna be loads of fun, too. But, I won't be competing at GG Del Mar. D!ck made me promise not to drive it too hard for the first 500 miles. He knows how I drive Jean's Challenger. :lol:

Is there a RTTC2 this summer? :woot:

I really like the color combination. May I use some of your pictures?

Bryan, we need to teach you and Jean to drive first, and maybe Trevor too, while we're at it. We all know he is doomed to fall in love with speed. There is no way he didn't get those genes. Didn't you tell me you got 19 speeding tickets in a year when you were a kid in Tucson? There are a bunch of shows and events this summer, and we'll make sure to get you over to something, even if it is just a little Good Guys "peanut" autocross up in Pleasanton!

Matt

Thanks.

Certainly, you can use my pics. If you wait a week or so I may even have one with a hood on the car. :lol:

Technically, it was Pima county 'cause I lived outside the Tucson city limits. Got to know the entire Sheriffs Dept on a first name basis. :lol: And it was my first year of driving. Took me awhile to learn how to slow down that '71 Firebird. :_paranoid

Atta Boy...:thumbsup: :D

Here's a shot of the fresh air intake in the paint booth. Can't wait to see this installed. :yes:

Haven't seen the car in 10 days! Saturday I'll have pictures of the interior. We're going up to see Eric's work.

Your right it did settle. Your car looks awesome by the way!! I love the color

Thanks John.

Here's a couple of shots of the trunk after Eric Thorsen worked his magic. Obviously, we'll be painting the lock mechanism black. I forgot to take pics of the completed rear seat and package tray. :mad: Oh well. I'll get full interior pictures Monday when the car arrives back at Best of Show.

ps....Chris, Eric made a real Balzy headliner for me. :lol: Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. :yes:

Bryan- You still not done with this car!:D

Eric Thorsen does some pretty good interior work... I like what he did with your trunk.. I need to get BB back to him to finish out the trunk..

wow beautiful trunk!

Looking Good!

Thanks Wayne.

Here's some interior shots. We still have to put on the visors, rear view mirror, window and door cranks.
