Default The car is done!

I picked up the car last weekend and it turned out better than I had hoped.
I want to send a big thanks out to Kevin, Kelle & all the crew at V8TV for their hard work.
I picked up an award at the Goodguys Chicagoland Nationals with it. It won the Snap-On Innovation award.
I also got in invite to be a VIP car at the World of Wheels next may in Chicago, so it was a great weekend. My son Clayton was with me and we had a blast. Here are some pictures of the final product with the boy keeping it show ready.

I also sould thank Bem Hermance for the great rendering he did that was the guide for the build

Looks great. Any chance you might make it over to Mn next year for Car craft or the all Pontiac show? I would love to see it in person.
