Default Officially calling it done!! Finally!

Well I started in Sept 2005 and I'm finally calling it done. 347 Stroker, T5, Currie TSD with 3.50:1 Gears. Complete restoration, or resto mod if you prefer. What so you think? The final bill is right at 30K. That is about 15K more than I planned on.

I'm gonna take down the 1/8th mile Friday. The bumper is off to access the battery cutout switch I had to install. I put it right behind the bumper. When I'm not racing I just throw the bumperback on. Here is a pic of what I started with. It was a real POS. No interior but no rust in the body to speak of. It is a straight 6 car.
