So it is around 4:30 in the morning over here, and I couldn't get to sleep so I'll let a set of pictures do some talking

Pictures can only tell, or show some much though. What you can't really see are the headlight doors that don't really fit, and aren't running, the door gaps, which are a bit off, or even the back of the hood that pops up on the driver's edge by the cowl. Not to mention the clutch which needs to be properly bled, and a host of other things. Sure, the car fired right up today, but yesterday involved a big struggle in tracking down some fuel system gremlins. The car really fought us all the way

We were almost ready to just load her up and push her in, but at the end of the day, about an hour or two ago, with the way the sheet metal was fitting, there was a unanimous agreement to call it quits. It was frustrating as hell, but none of us wanted a car that looked thrown together.

So from here on out, the gang at Best of Show will be working to get the car done, and not just SEMA done. Even now, it looks killer, I think it would have fit in fine at the convention. However, I think everyone involved has invested too much time and effort to show up with an unpolished project.

I'm pretty sure I have a page long list of people that I owe drinks to now

, so we will all still be at sema. Keep your eye out for some brotouring shirts and decals. I shouldn't be hard to spot, Brad made me a shirt to match the camaro, and I somehow doubt purple shirts are all the rage these days.

Don't sweat it matt, I agree. no sence in showing a car that's not finished. But I'm sure you would have been just fine. There's alot of cars that get pushed in and bolted togethor on the floor. will see you tuesday. Hey if you get a chance put up some shots of the dash.

Regardless of the setbacks, your car looks awesome

. That color looks sweet.

Car looks great man. It takes time even for the professionals to get it right. Tweaking is a huge part of the build and makes or breaks a car in my opinion. The main thing is you have a killer car that's about to be a reality.
