It looks slow until you push the peddle on the right, then hang on.Most people want a shiny paint job on a car and consider that, job well done. I on the other hand, want it to run great, then leave the paint job to someone else. Besides you might not like the color I choose. The interior still needs work, hooking up the electrical stuff, and the door cards, etc.I've invested over 17 thousand dollars in this project, and countless hours. But just bump the key and she purrs like a kitten.
