you dont have to tell me. i know that a picture will never do a great car justice. i use pics as reminders. my paint looks amazing IMHO, but based on the pics, it just looks pretty good. the forum is such a tease in that sense. :yesnod:

'79ProwlerOrange -> Thanks, it's really makes you fell good to hear someone likes your car after you've spent a few years fixing it up and some hard ( and mostly fun ) work.

To the Toronto Shark Pack boys, as usual nothing but positive remarks from you and they are greatly appreciated. :D

Agree with comments on the appearance. Motorhead's car on the dyno last summer was a real treat. Real quality small block. Rest of us were jealous (except 1bad69!). Think he put somewhere around 280hp to the tires!
Great car Wayne....the tributes for the work you've done are well deserved!
:cheers:

BTW was at your site a week ago looking at all the pics, that is an amazing paint job you have there and the hood really sets it off. :D
