Yea, I've seen this car before. It's ok for what it is, but not great for all the work that he put into it.

"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future..."

Jeremiah 29:11 the only verse I have highlighted in my Bible.

All that work is not worth it! I would have just built a blower motor and slapped a Procharger on it and be done.
