That engine compartment and suspension looks killer, very sinister in the all black. Great job man, the car is SICK! :thumbsup:

68 Big block
 
Thanks Guys, At recent car show a few people came up to me and said if the engine was chromed out your car would win hands down. But did not want the street rod look . The way it is now you really have to look to to find all 1 off pcs. I built. And I dont want a car that every body likes. Just a few that can appreciate this type of build. What made this build so fun was that the paint and glass is the only things I farmed out. And I did it in 14 months. Now I have rusted out 69 camaro That I am going to try to have done for 08 power tour. That will pass 18 miles north of my home in Baldwin Ks.Thanks Scott.
