I like that sign.
I have been trying to come up with a unique sign when I show my car too.
BTW, your car is outstanding.   I see a "pick of the month" soon. ;)

What did you do with those wheels?

I like those, I've had 2 sets in the past. American Racing Outlaws and Cragar Astrodrags(don't think they make them anymore).

Yes I am. What size and how much? You have the center caps?

I've had that style in Cragar and American Racing, forgot about Centerline.

You really need to have vision when you start a project like this.  To some people, this car would be a POS.  Something to discard.  But you have vision.  You turned it into a beautiful show car.  Most people wouldn't want to do the work necessary either.  You pulled it off.

When I bought the Y88, my wife saw a junk car.  She figured I has a vision of what the car could be.  My older daughter saw a junk car.  My younger daughter saw a beautiful Trans Am.  She said the car had a lot of potential and likes it better than my black four speed.

Some people have it, some don't.

Thanks guys, it was a lot of work and money to take a car and make it new again, and the problem is it never is finished because I always see more I can do or want to do.
