Hi Brent,
I see we have a lot in common. Followed your build on the forum and was very impressed with the finished product. I have the CI flares as you do, only this old man had to put them on by himself. Where was Josh when you need him !! Thanks for the reply and keep the vet shiny . AWESOME RIDE

Just curious Norm, which one is going to the Zip show next year or both? Make sure you get those first spots like you did this year. Beautiful work from a nice guy. Looking forward to it. Thanks for all your help along the way.

Looks like you did just fine on your own.
I just needed a little more coaching as this was my first car build.
You gotta be pretty damn happy with your results.
How long did you stand there and look at it when you got the parts on?

Default Finished Pictures

I think Norm got his car finished and went to the track, got caught up adjusting his new sinister beast and forgot to post some final pictures. At least post up a few of it sitting on the line waiting for the tree to go green.

I was wishing for a red stripe and chrome trim to match those nice wheels, but this is a nice touch. Just enough to customize your paint job. Very nice addition to a well done car.

Default New tire combo for the strip

A couple pics of the new tire combo as a result of no traction in the quarter. Decided to go full slicks with skinnies up front. Now if it will just hook up and go straight, maybe we have a shot at those low 10's .
Thanks,
Norm

The headers are from Hooker in plain black. I do have the sidepipes that go with it for street use.
Thanks,

Hi ZIO,
Yes, my plan is to bring out the black car and leave the red 72 at home. Looking forward to meeting you again. Hope we have good weather.
Thanks,
