Looking good. Can't wait to see it finished. Time for me to get moving on my Malibu.

Really liking this build! Love the color combo, wheels, engine...the whole deal!

Thanks Tony! Unfortunately the last painter didn't prep my car properly and left a few pieces unfinished. Rocker panels never got sanded and in certain areas the paint was starting to flake off. Sucked because it looked great in pictures but I wanted it done right so I took it to a more reputable shop

Yes sir, I wanted something that was easy to get in and out of and had a local shop build a cage similar to the ride tech tiger cage

It happens. Better to take care of it now. Later would be less fun.
Can't wait to see more progress pics!
