Sweet ride man, I love those cars.  Not my cup of tea for the rims.  Would look great with some torq thrust -D's.  Great job Garry!

Thanks guys.  It was kind of fun working on someone else's car for a change.  It was nice to see the looks on his face as I got closer to being done.

Oh yeah,  the guy with the Duster fell through but I now have 2 other customer vehicles lined up.  One will be a 70RR that I am going to help someone assemble - it has already been painted by another shop and the owner was planning on assembling it himself but has realized it might be too much for him and he is hiring me to finish her up.  Unfortunately, I will not be able to post pics of it because he does not want people knowing what is going on - he's had a lot of neighsayers telling him he'd never finish it LOL

Also, I have a 1967 Satellite coming within the next couple of weeks to do the paint & body on. I will be painting it in the new B5 blue color.  I am actually working a trade for the 360 & 440 engine builds for my 2 projects.

Very cool Gary.  You might want to tell Dan that he needs a Camber adjustment though.

That's for sure- those front tires are not going to last long with the front end out that badly

Do you know what the size and specs are on the wheels and tires? Specifically wheel width and backspace
