I hope to someday in the not so near future.

Would love to run at one of the faster tracks in the country.
Too many things going on with life, but someday.

Great pics! I cant imaging how much time you'll lose going from Bandimere to a low altitude track. How long of a drive is it to St. Louis?

At first glance I thought you were selling your car. After not finding a price, I realized you were just showing it off.

I am certainly glad you are not parting with it, as many of us try to get our cars to that "perfection" that I believe you have achieved with it.

Nicely done

She is doing well. As happy as can be for a 10 month old.

Health issues are still there, but we are doing what we can, and she doesn't know any different.


Thanks for the compliments!!! Lot of hard work into that car.
Everything but the assembly of the shortblock and the custom duals was done in my one car garage.

From the underside it doesnt look like your car was orginally black.

Black wheels don't do it for me anymore.

It just depends... for me it was a toss up between tt2's and black ttm's and i dont see all that many ta's in my area to begin with and not really any with black wheels.



like i said as soon as i lower it and get more then bolt ons we'll be twins

When I first bought the TTII's I took them around to powdercoaters to have the spokes done in gloss black.
I like them, I really do.

But for some reason, I like the polished wheels better. Glad I didn't get them coated.
