Looking real nice James. Your attention to detail is beautiful to watch. As I am starting to get into building a few of these I will be following this closely to gain hints etc.

I always love your NASCAR builds. You include all of the details that most overlook. Such as the correct Sr. Seat, and the mat in the floorboard! I can't wait to see more!

i always look forward to nascar builds and yours truly are the tops. i love the clean work and how everything gets top notch treatment. cant wait to see more of this. the rollcage and engine are immaculate.

You do get around dont you JT...
'Nice work buddy this one is going to be a ripper..
