I love your work, we are kind of in the same boat. HaHa, I dont have the cash to dish out for Parts and I need an Adj. Pan Hard Bar because the previous owner lowered it without adding one. Well, I was going to fab one up thinking I had spare materials in the shop. But Nope. Im so broke right now I cant buy the materials to fab one up!

Very impressive work. I wish I had the skills to do stuff like that. I will say that I really don't like the flames at all. Other than that, everything looks great.

Old Blue,
I'm looking to have a set of Valve pan / Plenium, covers ( Like the ones on the Vets) fabed that I could have powder coated like a pearl or chrome green.
My baby is a Green '97 Trans Am Vert with a LT1 in her. I have the regular CAI not the Ram Air. Any interest in doing that ? I'm in Pittsburgh, not to far from you I think. I have looked every where on the internet and can't find what I want. This spring I plan to spend most of my time dressing up the Engine compartment. PM me if you think you can help.

Thanks
D.D.

I try to limit myself to what I build soo that I can get my car back together and ready for the show season. Thats not to say I won't build somthing on the side, depends how long it takes and what kinda of detail is in it. If you can take a pic and mark it up so I know what your looking for.

You are a lucky guy, wish I had a wife/gf like that. My GF has a masters degree and she does not understand the love I have for my car.....I am always explaining stuff to her. Today I explained why a car had an Alternator and how it worked....Of course I had to also answer the question. "Why does a car have a battery then?"
