The car looks great Doug. As Kevin said, we need to see if featured. Can you get a bunch of pictures and the whole story to Todd so he can do that?

Saw the car at your brothers a week ago. Fantastic job with custom suspension and a 383. Should handle like on rails and have lots of go. Stance, fit and finish are great, not surprized with your brother involved in the project. Barry

What a stunning Beauty. You should be very proud of what you accomplished.

Looks like a new avatar will be required.

Good choice for engine. Was expecting your brother to stuff a big block in there since he was involved.
