That is real nice looking. I'm glad the AIR system is being put to good use. Engine compartment looks great.

Default Many thanks to Forum Members

I also neglected to thank all of the forum members, like Gordonm for his A.I.R. system and others too numerous to mention with all my wants and needs.Not once was I ever dissappointed with my dealings with any forum member, unlike E-bay, but thats another story

Roy, Rich and Chris did some work on my car as well and in my visits I got to follow along in the progress on yours. I was there this spring when Chris was putting the finishing touches on your car. It really did come out beautiful. It was scary seeing the winshield frame in the beginning but what a job they did. Congrats and A and R are the best.

I'll give ya MSRP + $5K for it!

Very nice. The A.I.R. system is a nice touch. I bought a 72 Z28 and I had it off of there the first weekend I had it. I wish I had kept that stuff now.
