Josh and Steven, that thing looks badass to me. I have no doubt you will again set some records, love watching your builds. Josh is truly amazing with fabrication.

It is ok it happens. and I never said anything negative about RPM. If you notice the fenders aren't even the same color.


Sounds good.... I didnt notice they yellow fenders.. I thought that was a setup from a different car. I was simply implying that it would look even pimper with the extra paint and effort. I have seen a few cars that folks spent a bit of extra time under the hood and I am impressed with what the effort results in.

It was just a suggestion.... nice to know you already planned to do it.

Sidenote (since ya'll started it)... I always thought that was Steven's original black car that was built and sold to qatar. I'm glad to hear he still has it... many memories watching it run, and it has a lot of history.

I can't wait to see what this beast will do.
