I thought I would post some pics of the car. It's not 100% complete, and I've been chasing some bugs with the little stuff, re-tuning suspension, motor, etc. Dustin at AG Sandcars did an awesome job...here's a few pics...Detail shots to follow

I thought someone else was doing the work for you in Lakeside someplace? Glad to see you went to AG. Looks like they did a great job.

I got to say, all of his work was great, Everything fit together really well, and between his welding/Fab skills and the powdercoat done at ECP, it's almost like it's a showroom beauty. Except I don't intend to keep her clean and scratch free thumb.gif
