WOW. Looks sick right now, but I know it will look 10x better with a caged hulk in the engine bay. Can't wait to see it put together! Great choice on the color btw. Love Fire Red just about as much as Corvette Blue. Great job.

Damn, that looks amazing. Just make sure everything that goes into that engine bay looks as good as that paint! I hope you have stainless headers!
