Thanks. That means a lot from a guy who had sense enough to replace egg crates with gills. Sharks don't have egg crates, sharks have gills. :D

Those would be your opening lines to a person of the opposite sex. Remember back then?

If not just ask Todd or DG.

All this time you've convinced me my car was fat now I have photographic proof that Torinos are slimer than Chevelles.

They really have an awesome shop out here in IL. Seeing my chassis in person has got me more stoked about my project than ever. The chassis is there but unseen, nothing is visible under the rocker. :unibrow:

The attention to detail on all their projects is outstanding. Even the Camaros look good.:D

Phil and Jeremy spent a lot of time walking through my build with me today and yesterday. Got a chance to test fit a 275 up front and get some preliminary wheel dimensions and a good idea of tire sizing. It really has been a pleasure dealing with these guys. :thumbsup:

Hey -- as long as they're not Intros!


Too bad about the famous Greg Weld dying bankrupt... lucky for me... I'm neither of those things! OMG!! :D

Looks good, at this rate you'll be back rolling before me ;)

It's a GM backup camera. No use being able to see nothing behind you so It's low tech. :D

Are these any better?

It was. I still can't believe how cool that shop is.

I got a chance to meet Rick D and throw back a few with Jim INTMD8 also so that was a bonus. :thumbsup:

Getting a shot of the car with Weld branding, Priceless.....:unibrow:

That would be more fun than driving around Indy with Danica!

Wheels are too small, suspension and floater are killer. Is that A GM design? :cheers:

I know you like multiple wheel sets so here are some bigger wheels.
