I have no doubt that the car will be a monster.... I just wish the guys at Vengeance wouldn't get us all excited and keep us in suspense for so long.... oh well...

Those guys at Vengeance can only control so much.... Rest assured if it were my car we would be hitting mid 8s by now... The OWNER of the car has been swamped with work this past month and hasnt been in town for more than 48 hours for almost 5 weeks now... Rest assured as soon as he shows up we will be at the track...

I figured that may be the case with the owner.... too bad he didn't give you guys the key while he was gone...

Keep us posted big Ron!

Nice build Ron. I wish now that I would have went flat black with my ChevyII like I was supposed to.
I let the painter talk me into a shiny finish and decided on dark blue. May change to flat black in the future.

Some of you guy's need to chill, A lot of bashing for no damn reason.

Wow...very nice ride for sure. Tell Buddy his work looks great and I'm sure that thing will haul the mail once you get everything worked out weather wise.

Hopefully you guys aren't stuck with the bill.... If so, that's what a mechanics lien is for...

PM me the details of the balance due in case he doesn't return in 90 days! I'll be right over to pick her up!

And bet your *** that car will at the track RIGHT away.... there will be no more of this waiting horse ****....

ron, we took stock hood[3 times we changed it] till we made this 7 inch cowl for it,[of coarse im partial to my hood] but thats why they make different color jelly beans,,,,,,,as long as customer happy thats all that counts bob

You think they don't know this already?

You honestly think they would sell you the car for what is owed on it if that is the case and not buy it outrite on their own?

And bet your *** that car will at the track RIGHT away.... there will be no more of this waiting horse ****....
Just saying thats all. Guess there is a reason you don't have a car of this caliber already. Car should be at the track soon enough. Cars of this caliber take time and a lot of $$$$ to run.

6.07 @ 119 mph in the 1/8.
That's on the smallest hit of nitrous we got for it on the 1st stage only. Me and the car will both be at the Orsca race in Steele this month.
