Awesome rendering, Ben!

Cris, I REALLY like how you incorporated your logo stripe design as the stripe package on the hood. Very slick.

Ben you smashed it out of the park again,,,,,, that said Chris made the job that much easier with your talents and your uncompromising commitment to build fit and finish...... The beautiful job he does stretching the fenders and doing all the detailed little custom touches that are common place over at the shop are really nice to see (and I've seen some of them first hand at his shop)....

This guy is certainly one up and coming builder,,,, keep an eye on him as I think you're going to be seeing a lot interesting things develop from his shop in the next little while ;-).....

Default 555 Big Block

I still have this motor lying around my office.. I think we will slam it between the fram rails of Fat Bottom.. Need the torque to move the additional rear weight..

I want to run an LS motor but I think that this 555 with TKO 5 speed might work for the time being.. What you guys think??
