Wow Luke,
That is a great garage improvement. It makes your refrigerator look so much better!  Seriously, it's beautiful. The BEST color, too. Inquiring minds want to know more about it though. Want to share the specifications?

Paul - here is the story...the car came into my possession through a DEA auction - I stumbled onto the auction with 3 hours left in the bidding - I was "high" bidder in the closed bid auction by $150.00, so I didn't leave much money on the table! (It was even "DEA guaranteed" to be drug free!).
The downside to this whole deal was I didn't get to enjoy the step-by-step build I had been planning on, so I can't speak for all the details such as motor innards, etc - the upside was I got it for what I think was a very good price. Upon closing the sale, I took the car straight to ERA. ERA of course knew the car - Doug and Richie checked it out, custom fitted the turkey pan and missing heat deflectors, and pronounced it A-1. Peter P's comment was all it needed was "someone to love it" - it was a bit grimy from sitting for a year, but will polish up just fine.
It is an '01 build with 2000 miles on the odometer, 428, toploader, and various nice-touch options such as leather seats, MSD, the chrome add-ons such as bumpers/overriders/rollbar, coated exhaust, car cover, etc. It also came with a killer sound system, which I will remove shortly...
So all in all, bring on the springtime!
