Sorry to hear about the cretin doing that, I hope it doesn't take too much work/time to fix...

Everyone from our shop that went on the tour absolutely loved this thing. It was very good work on the build, with lots of attention to detail.

I missed it, but our other guys there said that your curb jumping leaving Little Rock was the best thing they saw that morning.

Ok, here are a few, not sure which part of the build you want to see, (5.3 swap, or body mods) so I'll just post some random pics.

I put a filler door in the hood, but it's only for looks. You can see it in this pic I took from the 3rd floor balcony. I just like this pic, it makes the car look like a toy. And yeah, I paused the movie ALOT to get everything right.

so if the filler is a fake, and you covered up the real gas door, how do you put gas in it? does it run on plutonium instead?

maybe that should be your next project... a hybrid....
