Now I can fit a big bastard motor and not worry about those pesky shock towers getting in the way. It's also going to handle like a Dream!

Well, cause our winters here in Toronto are freakin freezing, I think I'll be done summer of 2014. My garage isn't heated so I gotta stop working on it in the cold months. I just orded the 4 link heidts rear suspension. I think I'll have that on by December.

That teardrop hood looks like it was made for the car from the factory! And the detailing is immaculate inside and out, especially the engine compartment! Wow!

How much time do you actually pend on this car weekly? You're making progress pretty fast.
