Looks good!

It looks like it's about to roll of the factory floor in 1973, minus the Air pump and accessories.

Way to go Howard So can we expect to see a smokey burnout pic in front of the Rockies soon?

I'm not sure if the new Stunt driving law has been passed out west yet, but here in Ontario they are impounding cars like crazy. Rule is 50K over the limit..$2000 fine, license suspension and impound the car. Be careful where you lay the rubber down!
