Good job on the body work. Might want to trim down the attached images though since we're only allowed three... per the rules...

If you get some hosting, you can link as many images as you like!

as luck would have it my 383 blew up i spun a conecting rod bearing BAD so i had to remover the motor and rebiuld. the motor ran 12.8 on street/slicks but was horible to drive on the street so i went with a mild motor this time. the 383 was bored .030 over and the cylinders didnt look health so i went .060 over which was a bad idea the car always runs hot now... its onley has about 9:1 now with a really mild cam. The car onley will run a 13.8 now... i think i can get better out of it but havent been to the track much...
the new moter is yellow i had a gass leake on to my intake and that made it look like crap... the first motor did look alot better but i had more time in to it...
