Awesome Jeff! Well deserved and congrats!

I was confused for a second, I live close to Cloverdale where there was a big show and for a second there I thought you brought the car here but... Clearly not Canada

Well said. Simple yet detailed at the same time. Love the old school minimalist look with modern components. Can't wait to get her home.

Looking forward to the Wed night out at Sears Point we talked about to see what she will run and getting to the next GG event and run the cones. Also want to do the 2014 Run to the Coast event.

Not only is Chris a builder he is a great tuner and suspension set up guy so we should have her dialed in good by then.

Oh yeah. There will likely be many sets. I plan on driving her as much as I can and enjoying it.

Thanks but I just gave Chris the canvass and an idea of what I wanted. He worked his magic and executed on the concept bringing it to life.

The awards are more in recognition of the execution and efforts of Chris at WCAC and the crew that worked on it.

Brought here home today.


Had to stop for a cool pic along the way while ripping though the back roads.


It's good to have her tucked away in her garage.

Oh yeah, I'll be driving the snot out of it. Got close to 90 miles yesterday on the way home and "running a couple errands" afterwards. Had a great time chasing a late model Trans Am through the back roads on the way home. He couldn't shake me

i'm planning on getting out this weekend but it is suppose to rain. WTH, rain in September in CA?

Weather permitting I will get as many miles on her as I can. It's got over 700 now.

When I said tucked away... I meant in my garage, at home, where she belongs.
