Pretty much how it started:

It was a rust bucket disaster. The entire roof was made of bondo and newspaper. Factory 318 (which was rotted from sitting 12 years with water in it)

Vanishing Point photo shoot:
The year in Vegas ended up being more about loaning and renting the car out for photo shoots that track time. Although that was fun, I am glad to be back in Florida and ready to make track day noise again.

This is, to me, one of the the greatest stock car bodies ever (Buick Regal probably tied).

Any more build pics?  Please? This teaser is just cruel.

We did some charity laps at Darlington last month. That was a blast and we raised some money for Toys for Tots!
