I feel ya Garrett, wish you luck in the war up there. Hell the guy next to me is selling his house 545k ...lol... come on down..lol..

Mike it has a box frame / notched rear end so it will sit just like it is in the pic and just waiting for a rear axel. Where going to remove 3" from the top then weld all the seams up. We will be ordering motor goodies next week to build the 350, it should put out a easy 450hp.

Your car is turning out great. What style of paint are you going with, matte or a gloss finish?

Those headers are awesome!!!
Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing the finished product.
