It's had 800 Miles put on it since May. It gets driven quite a bit honestly, just don't really post about the little evening drives or to the gym cruises. It's been entered in a car show in last February, and will be entered in this February. It's not my daily so it doesn't get driven all the time.
The thing that sucks about where I live is there is no road course or 1/4 mile track.

That is going to be pretty awesome once done.
I'm sure a lot of us know exactly what you mean.Quote:

Did a little more on the left side tonight. It is now rivnut'd and bolted to the body. WATCH OUT. Also finally decided how I was going to attack the back half to blend it in the body. Need to adjust some holes for the screws, and possibly make the countersink on the body panel different.

Thanks man! Its kinda needed as I didn't like any fender options that are available for the galant. Sometimes I don't know why I do what I do.Quote:

The car game whether looks performance or regular maintenance, patience is always key.Quote:

Looks awesome so far man. Can't wait to see the finished product :drool:
This looks awesome and I like the way the back looks buffed like those Dodge Charges good stuff can't wait to see the paint on it. You should paint it black to match the hood
