I didn't get a new Firebird to follow me home like Craig did, but I did get to pick up my 68 vert with it's newly built 461 and 200 4R. Couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

Wow! Gotta warn us to put our sunglasses on before viewing those picts! Nice job! Just had all your brake parts blasted today for my coupe. Everything seems to be fitting together as it should. How many miles do you have on it yet?

Great news on the brakes, how close are you to getting the 400 coupe on the road? You sure didn't let the gold verts spot in the garage get cold.
Put about 50 miles on it so far, pulls like a freight train. Can't seem to get into 2nd gear without chirping the tires (LOL, oh well)
