Looking good. I noticed on the pic of the convertible Camaro you guys are building that there is a small blemish.... A bird pooped on it. Don't ya hate when that happens?

Looks good... I like the KISS approach. Simple but effective. I do have one question... are you gonna add a crossover to the exhaust at some point? :hmm:

Excellent!
I took a long look at your web site. The quality of work seems to be top notch. You guys are doing a heck of job on a multiple of cars. If I didn't already have a car(s). 69 GTO Judge, 2001 SC Saleen, I would more than likely purchase a car reworked by you.
I'm most impressed with the level of thought process that goes into each vehicle you sell. You don't get outlandish. It seems you rework the cars to a nice clean look, improve upon the cars performance and handling, without going too extreme! Where do you stop now days? Modernize the interior, give the cars an awesome paint job, yet flowing paint scheme.
Match that with a nice set of rims and tires along with all the detail you put into the cars, you have created a masterpiece. Plus anyone of you cars can be driven daily.
Congrats, very professional.

Thanks Jon , we are happy to be using your fine quality products .
On another note , we did sell the car this weekend to a registered user on the forums . Once he takes delievery of it maybe he will show some of us the finished product. We have some nice upgrades planned out . It will surely be a awesome car and very fast .
Also 2 mustang magazines will be doing a photo shoot of it for some up coming issues.
And last we could quite possibly be going to SEMA with our 67 fastback "TERMINATOR". I will keep you guys updated on that as it goes , I am very excited about that , except that it will need to be done in about 4 months, ouch !

I was out at the show yesterday (Friday) and didn't see the car there. Did you guys just put it up out of the rain? How was the show today? The car looks great in the pictures, I was hoping to get a closer look.

I just got back from the All Ford Nationals in Carlisle.
I had made arrangements with Jason Huber (Datsbad)
and his partner John Brooks to see the car at the show.
I have been discussing this car with these guys for 2 months.
Lets just say that it was well worth the 500 mile drive..
The car is really something special..
It attracted lots of attention at the show.
They had one guy that had a check in hand try to buy the car
two different times before I arrived!
I applaud the integrity of Jason and John in waiting for me to see the car and make my decision. Hard to do with money staring you in the face. I will post the planned upgrades later.

Congrats Steemin,
Those guys at G-Force are A-OK. They have helped me out with several issues regarding specs for my car. Darn it anyways, another car finished, purchased, completed, whatever, before mine is complete.

Congrats Datsbad and everything is looking killer! I almost had a chance to meet you in person when you came to Michigan to get the Orange Camaro but it just never worked out for us. Glad to hear everything is going well for you.

Scott,
Didn't the Mustang come with the 32 valve Corbra engine in it? If so you may be beating yourself up for no reason by switching engines. These engines are state of the art and will give you both low and high end power. I had the Saleen up to 160 mph with like engine. The car let loose in the first four gears.

Roger,
The cobra motor is going into their 67 fastback "Terminator" project.
The 66 came with a 289 bored .30 over with a mild cam.
I elected to upgrade to a FRPP 347 450 hp crate engine..
As a side note I sold my 2000 Saleen S281 S.C. Speedster to buy this car.
That was a great car! I just wanted to go back to the old school look..
