    I really never thought it would ever be a street car again. The blue will look good, but it will ALWAYS be titanium in my mind.

    That cage was custom built around 95' by an old guy that was the first ever to build a multi-engine pulling tractor....held several world records in that sport, was one hell of a fabricator. You leaving it in or taking it out?
    Cage is staying in. Yup cluster says 59k I only put 1300 miles in the last 3 years I owned it. I still have the pic u gave me on dry shot at track.

      Car was never in a major accident under my watch, but it did end up with some damage to the roof....happened in my garage when a box fell on it. I'm pretty sure it was hailed on after I sold it too.
      Yup I found all the dings. Lol will be fixed

          That's the 2nd or third speedo it's had.

          ...but I can attest that it is still under 100K.

                            How are those door handles? I used those for my car, and mine are junk. Lots of slop in them. The front bumper fits great, at least it did on my car. Kinda pricey, but worth it, I thought.

                            Nice job on the car so far! It's gonna look good when finished!

                                My bumpers looked the same man. Grey scotch bright is all I did then we sealed them.

                                Fyi All handles have play in them. I stacked some washers on the hard lines and my doors open as soon as the handle moves.
