    Also ordered a Kilduff shifter, Brian is a great guy and his shifters are killer. This is the shifter minus the diamond plate cover!

    So it took a call to Rat Nasty (Gasser Tad) to get me straight on the electrical confusion to get it going and a giant thanks to Chevy Dave (guy in the video) for helping me with a crap ton of the work on the gasser!

    Glad to see she's still alive and running! I remember photoshopping this car a few years ago, one of my favorites for sure. Its got that "Fuck with me" attitude. :D
