You did all that in a week???? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Only took me, like, a year to do that much on my car, and I get six months a year off work!!!

Yeah...Right!

He's got 3 wheels propped up against the body there....
He's got the engine resting on a cinderblock....
He's got that grill shell held in place with some twisties from a bread wrapper....


Just joking. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
