Well, it took me long enough. I received my kit in March of 2005 and finished (well, mostly) my car in August 2009. It's taken me a while to post my graduation thread because I've been driving the heck out of the car - 2800 miles - and enjoying every minute!

Thank yous - To my wife for putting up with me during the entire build. To my twin sons Paul & Ross - I couldn't have done it without all of your help. To my friend Dan - muscle, welder, parts supplier, tool supplier, and all around go to guy for information and knowledge.
And a big thank you to this forum. Although I didn't post a lot, I spent a lot of hours learning from all of you.

A few details about the car:
- Color - Hot rod yellow pearl (2006 Honda Goldwing)
- Engine - new 302, World Products Rousch heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Holly 670 Street Avenger Carb, March pulleys, MSD ignition and distributor.
- Levy T-5
- 8.8 rear with 3.55's
- GAS-N pipes

I love this car! Mike

Hey Phil, thanks, good to hear from you! We're really hoping we can do the FSR. Keep us posted.

Guys, thanks for all the great compliments. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying this car. The pictures don't show the true beauty of this color. The pearl really pops in the sun. I'll try to post a picture that show the pearl.

Thanks again, Mike
