    Thank you. I appreciate all the support and comments from you and many others. I didn't really want to refer to anyone as haters but just to let them see the finished product before they judge. They can like my car or not like my car thats up to them!

Got the roof roughed in and primered just been driving the shit outta the car. I recently tore it apart for a tubular control arm and disc brake upgrade because I run it hard on the freeway 95+ mph and it don't like to stop sometimes haha. Hopefully I can get the front end finished and in primer aswell as the drivers side door and were set for awhile until time comes to paint this sucker.
