This was a project but it should be a neat piece in a full bodied car on the big island of HI.

Killer engine ..... Mike's cruise with Rowdy a couple years back hooked him. If Rowdy gets to the island someday I am sure Mike will have a chance to spook him.
Really curious how the stick will work with all that jam.
Been following and posting on TC for quite a while now and that build is on the top shelf.
My 540 pales in comparison.
