    I just bought my dream car on Friday, and got home yesterday with it. I am super excited!!! I went out to Colorado to pick it up. My dad came with me to help. I owe him a big thanks, as he was a big help. We had a great time on the trip. The only trouble I had was that half way though the trip my trailer lights stopped working. The funny thing is my buddy Dolsen37 told me before I left that the mercury might put up a fight being towed behind a GM vehicle. Did the merc have anything to do with that? :) I owe a special thanks to Ace-k for all his help, as he owned the car before me. I had a great time talking to him.Thanks again Chris. I have lots of plans for it, but it my be a slow process in building the car. I also wanted to thank Dave from Backstreet Kustoms for all his work. I will post updates, but it will take a little while before its on the road. I only have a few pictures right now, but I'll post some more soon. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    I couldn't pass it up. Most of all the hard work is already done. It will definitely help motivate me in getting it done faster!!!!

    Excellent...less hard stuff, and more fun stuff to do...cuts down on thrown wrenches...

    ...that end up lost in the snow, then run over by the mower, breaking the
    mower and sending the now-rusty wrench through the kitchen window, killing the cat.

    See how important it is to keep it fun?...lol.

    It doesn't have a engine or trans, but my plans are to put a 302 in it with an AOD trans.
