Default Carlisle 78 Pace "resto-mod"

Did anyone get any photos of the '78 Pace Car in the Street Shop booth? LT4 and C4 suspension. It was built by a good friend of mine and I didn't have my camera (still kicking myself). It was a really neat car. Anybody see it or get any photos?

I don't have any photos. I forgot to take my camera. I was hoping that someone else took some. This car is beautiful. Every gap is correct, the spoilers fit, the stripes all line up. Did anybody see it? Looked stock on the outside, but it had a Street Shop chassis with C4 suspension, 96 LT4, and a Tremec 5-sp.

I just checked all my pics and unfortunately I did not get it. Sorry man. Saw it, but didn't get it captured on pixels.
I hope someone got it captured, lets keep trying to find it.
