The flames look so real. Love the rear facia.
What style wheels will you be putting on the car?

Holy cow Jim...that thing is looking amazing. Once you get it all done I am definitely going to have to take a peak at in in person.

Are you planning on any big shows in the near future? Carlisle? I wasnt planning on going to Carlisle since I dont have mine anymore but I might have to plan on it if you are going to be there. If you can squeeze it in, you should go there and do the NCCC show. You would have a great shot at winning that. I was fortunate enough to win that last year and would be more than willing to help you prepare for it. Its a lot of work, but its also a great honor to win that show.

Thanks Joe
I remember when you won there. That was a great accomplishment!
I was giving it some thought about going and might have to take you up on the offer! Any and all tips would be greatly appreciated. I have very little experience on prepping a car or having it ready for a show of that caliber.
Any particular motels you might recommend in the area. I bet it would be hard to find a place to stay.
