I couldn't imagine cruisin' around town in that car with a 555 in it with a glide . Well, I can but you get my point. Sweet project by the way and good luck with it. Looks like it's a good starting point from the pictures.

Time to get down to business, I wish I lived near you to take part in what sounds to be a sweet setup.

Cant wait to get one of my own.
