I love all of your door and window detail, John. Those door panel, in particular, are just absolutely gorgeous. It's too bad that they'll be inside the car where it's hard to truly see and appreciate them like they deserve to be.

John, your scratch building skills are nothing short of phenominal, I look forward to each up date and learn something new everytime I view them. I have worked on both blown and nitrous Pro/Mod combinations so I appreciate your level of detail even more. The one thing that stands out to me are the addition of the nitrous bottles, if your building to standard association rules a second power adder would not be allowed but if its an outlaw build then all is well. Very impressive, I cant wait for the painting stage. BILL

Been following every post on this one and I find it hard to add to what's already been said plus its hard to type with my jaw in the way of the keyboard. John - you are a master crafter.

John, my friend you need a girl friend. To spend as much time building as you do, you have to

have some other distraction to matain your health.LOL As it has been said before, we bow to

the Master. Your Talent Shines Thru. Keep it going.
