I just wanted to say hi to everyone, and show some pictures of my latest car I built. I hope to see some of you guys down the road at a car show or two.

Thanks for the compliments guys. It has a Pontiac 400 with small chamber ported heads, Lunati cam, Edelbrock intake, Demon carb., Holley electric fuel pump, and a built TH400 with a B&M 3500 stall converter and Hurst Quarter Stick shgifter. 12 Bolt 3:73 posi in the rear. The bottom of the car is painted the same silver base/clear as the lower portion of the car, and the entire drivetrain is the same pearl black as the stripe on the side of the car. I will try and get some more pictures posted for you. Thanks again for the compliments, I really appretiate it because I built the whole car myself from painting to building the engine to fabricating the dash, everything. The dash and interior is all steel.

Was this car by chance at the World of Wheels show in Milwaukee? Because it looks incredibly familiar. If so, AMAZING piece of work you have there.

Yes I was at the Milwaukee World of Wheels. Thanks for the compliment. It will be in Chicago this weekend at the World of Wheels there, I just hope it's not snowing when I leave like it was in Milwaukee.
