Wow. That sounds pretty cool.
Yep, it is awesome looking. I even blogged about it last month. http://5150life.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-to-make-me-drool.html
Did they come to your dept? Did you get to see her in person? I'd love to.
NOw, that's just plain badass.
I have GOT to get me one of those.
It still needs a PIT bar.
Sweet lookin piece. Can't believe it is designed from the ground up without the help of the Gumment Motors Parts bins.....otherwise the cost will make it die.
Looks like this may be the powerplant...an excellent choice.
