Kevin, Corz is the gentleman that sold me the pipes for my car and I think that is what he is referring to.

You are all making me so jelous, my car is in a million pieces and I still have the body work to do. YUCK! I hate body work, give me a good electrical problem or something.
Hahaha!
Looks like your car is going to be awesome!

Well Sly........popped the front clip loose.
I know it wasn't you,but someone has REALLY gotten ahold of Sly's baby w/a grinder,and killed the back edge of the RH frt fender,and after mucho hours of trying to get a good body gap....no dice.Won't bondo it up,cause she will pop,and I have alittle more self-respect than that,so......glassed a whole new body line extension,will rehang the doors,measure everything,get the desired gaps,run a tape line w/room for error,cut w/cut off,and finish massaging by hand.Good times!
I'm not trying to compete w/Stan at all,but HOLY SH%T he has some beautiful body lines on his cars,and have to step it up a notch.I would never pass the gaps I had before,but Stan is a inspiration to watch,and better than a cup of java!
Back to the shop,but no helpers here today to help me hang the doors,so.......

Now that's a door gap that anyone would be proud of when it is all finished!!!!!
Except for the NCRS judges of course
A gap like that would be a definate point deduction
