Perfect!!! Just goes to show you don't have to have a street rod style smooth firewall to have a nice car. ;)

No offence to anyone here with a smooth firewall :_paranoid :lol:

I'm hurt ( well not really ) - I did three different firewalls on my project and I ended up with a smooth one in the end.

ps - next project won't have a smooth firewall.

Yours is a little different. Its just of my opinion that in the next 5-10 years the trend will be over and someone will be making a fortune repoducing OEM firewalls for all those with muscle cars that will want to be un-smooth again. :yes:

Sorry to highjack. Back to giving props to this incredible looking car.

Rebird 10-22-2007 02:02 PM

Great Car!!!! A+++++++++++

Ummgawa 10-22-2007 05:49 PM

Wicked ride dude. Just awesome. Now enjoy it.

PASD U 10-22-2007 07:30 PM

Instantly one of my favorite 69's here. :thumbsup:

I got to see this car in person earlier this week, pictures certainly dont do it justice. The car is flawless.

Car looks fantastic Justin, have fun driving it to Charlotte. looks like the weather might just cooperate :cheers: .

jpdeuce 10-27-2007 07:17 AM

Nice meeting you Friday Justin. I hope you finally dried out. I think I seen you at DSE too, just as I was pulling out. We picked up our subframe, looked around a bit, ate quickly and had to head home.

I was really diggin your car. Keep us posted on any future updates.

If you ever get down near Kingsport, drop by the shop and visit.
