Guess I might as well post up the info and photos on my hot rod. This is a great group of cars, I am honored to be in the mix!

It all started for me and my 2007 GT500 about 2.5 years ago. I purchased the car with 1200 miles on it in Sept. 2010 and set out to build "the perfect beast". I wanted a car that was 100% a street car and completely drivable, but still could go to the track and lay down some pretty serious times. Almost three years later and I can say I am "close" to being done lol. She has undergone a few modifications since I have owned her, here's a list that is current (I think).
