67's are my favorite. Can't wait to see what comes of this one. Good luck.

The '69 looks much better now, the iForged didn't look right on that car to me. They look pretty good on the '67 though.

Nice looking set of 1st gens Tony. 1 question thought, why does the 69 SS have a BB hood and the endura bumper on it?

It isn't a big block hood (there is no such thing). The hood on the 69 is the factory SS hood. Cowl hood was an option.

William is correct, degree in Mechanical Engineering, working in project management for the offshore oil/gas industry. Entry level jobs in this market are pulling in ~$65-70K right out of college now. I've been in it for 10 years now.

Will, tell me about your boss' car. Any pics?

ya'll wanna bitch about your salaries?

I've got a BS in Aeronautical Science (graduated oct 2004)
ALMOST have a MAS (Master of Aeronautical Science), will graduate Oct 2007
WILL start Ph.D. in Business Administration or DBA Jan 08.

with all that education and 10yrs experience in Aviation, I'm still working for $15/hour! ($31,200/year, but we have free medical/dental/401k/100% Tuition Assistance/and a $5k-$10k bonus profit sharing every February/March). There is potential...but....base salary sucks!!

Anybody wanna donate to the poor? (being me?)
