What a week!! Ty's Firebird has progressed amazingly fast over the last 7 days. We went from a bare metal blasted shell, to a rolling chassis with the underside complete, rust repair and rough bodywork done on the rest of the shell,firewall shaved, bodyworked and in color, subframe complete with all new parts, rear BMR suspension installed, brakes installed and wheels and tires on it. Rolled out of the shop for the first time since Nov 08 when I go the car. I owe so much to my guys Josh and Jerry, between the three of us there were 146 hours put in since last Monday! And with three back to back 14 hour days this weekend, not even a single word from either of them!

The TIN INDIAN Performance/Kauffman Racing Equipment 440cid Poncho engine will be dyno'd at Kauffman Racing tomorrow!! Then shipped Thursday so we can mate it to the Phoenix Transmission Products 700R4, get it in the car and get the new aluminum driveshaft ordered from Inland Empire Driveline. The trunk lid and filler panel should be arriving today from Anvil Auto with the rest of the carbon fiber parts due in any day now! Then it's just final fit and alignment before laying out the stripes and more color!!

We're moving right along here at Fletcher's Customs!!! Thanks for your continued support! More pics are on the website www.fletcherscustoms.com

And here's what we had last Monday


then we started the underside, firewall, and suspension thrash
