Very nice looking car. I like the color and that it has no sripes. Congradulations on a job well done. I don't see any pictures in your second post. Pictures of the engine would be nice to see.

Dude, how did you finish so quickly! I got mine in January as well, but I haven't even started the engine yet.

Nice job, btw

Looks great. I hope mine turns out half as good. If it looks as good, I will also be happy. Much happier.

Great job!!

buildit, the paint is a 2008 Ford color called "Dark Shadow Grey". The time it took to build the car passed way too fast. It was a pleasure to build.

Thumbs up Great Job

Ryan,
Great job! I am amazed at you guys that can finish so fast.
I have been on and off mine since Jan 2008, and will be putting in the engine in several weeks.
Love the color with the black roll bars.
I am looking at doing black sidepipes....

But your' is top notch.
Glen

Hello everyone, I finally figured out how to delete and add pictures, so I've got some better pics up. Still doesn't do the color justice imho
