    I had a buddy in highschool he was about 350# strong as an ox, but he was also round. He would tell the girls shade in the summer heat in the winter!

    Yes! I am liking it a lot. Couldn't be happier with all of it.

    Ken Keir's work on the cage and the front suspension is A+. You can eyeball the cage from any angle and not find ANY bars that are out of place or not aligned as they should be. With the fixed top strut mount,he needed to set the camber when fabbing it up...I checked it when I got it home and the camber it EXACTLY the same - 89.7* - on both sides! :thumbsup:

    Na,can control the Holley dash with an IR mouse! :2thumbs:

    Got the deck lid hinges worked out,still need some shorter bolts and to either rework the stock springs or install some gas struts.

    The clamps are from Allstar Performance. Universal for whatever,worked super easy. Added some spacers,and the hinges basically bolted right on to them.

    I decided the 1.5" diagonals in the floor were too big, so replaced with 1". Like it better.

    Most of the floor/firewall welded in place. Still a lot of work to do on the trans tunnel. Steering column bracket mocked up.

    Just incredible workmanship. Saw a Summit ad for the Godzilla at $6,800.00.
    Making more sense than building my 420W.
