Looking good, actually more like great!  Quick question, are those wheels the final selection?  Not that there's anything wrong with them, and I mean no offense, they look good and fit right, just feels like this build is sooooooooooo good I'd like to see something more custom in terms of wheel style.  Just my humble $0.02

Any anticipated drive-day?

Hard to tell if it's a matter of just bolting things back in or if there is still a lot of development left to do yet. :bigshades:

Car looks awesome, I just installed the  RMS and the hemi last week and it felt great after 8 years. I am sure your pretty excited as well it's nice to finally see them on the ground on their own wheels, your moving along pretty good.

Hey man, just want to say that I'm in the process of finding my project cuda right now (aka convincing the wife lol) and this build has got me pumped right up to get started. Great job and congrats on the beast you can call your own.

             Lookin good John. I got the inside the fender idea from your pics way back when. These pics just reminded me. Gotta love bulkhead fittings.  :2thumbs:
