Congrats to you! That was the deal of the century!! If I would have known about it being on ebay, you would have had a fight on your hands...

I consider the QD to be an iconic build (which I would probably modify as soon as I got it home... )

Yeah, I know. Kinda floored me when I was able to get it.

Yep, exactly, I thought the same, so we tried to modify it to bring it up to date, but at the same time making sure it didn't look too different. I think we succeeded. We spent a long time talking about things like tire sizes - we wanted a bit more rubber on the sidewall like a Hot Rod instead of a Hot Wheels, but had to stay EXACTLY within the same percentage difference in diameter front to rear on order for the AWD gearing to work properly. We also spent a lot of time finding just the right distressed leather, then have some of it perforated to slightly update the look.

Speaking of updates, that thing is begging for an LS3/LS7.

Yeah, I know, but with only a few thousand miles on the Lingenfelter engine, I didn't want to touch it yet.

Loved this car when I first read about it. Glad to see it pop back up and owner on here.

Absolutely! Luckily no snow where I live, so put on a jacket, gloves, and hat, and drive around for no good reason every few days. I'm sure it would drive fine in snow with AWD, but I would not want to deal with road crap slinging up into the interior with no fenders.

Congrats on the buy! Cool car with such pedigree and history.

Kevin and the CAR crew do such nice work. Very good shop.

And leave that bad ass 18 degree motor in there -- no LS can touch the sound of that thing I bet.
