That is a beautiful tri-five for sure! Absolutely beautiful!

Scott -- Gotta tell ya -- Everything we do takes an extra 30 minutes of prep. I just really don't want to be "that guy" that dropped a wrench down the side of the car.

Pierre didn't even want to take the front end off! I said I wouldn't work on it if we didn't because there's no way I'm leaning over them to do the kind of work that we discussed.... bending new brake lines -- moving a few things around... fixing some leaks... changing most all of the wiring in front of the firewall...

You just have to take the time to protect stuff BEFORE you drop the wrench because we will drop the wrenches!

There's very little milage put on this car -- for exactly the reasons you site. Thus his new "project" is the baby blue '57 he bought from Rodger (Ironworks)... it's going to be his "driver". I keep telling him that once he drives that 525hp LS motor - on an Ironworks chassis.... "you'll never drive that black car again".
