Thanks Jupiter!  Is it me?....or do those door panels have waves like the ocean in them.......just curious. Does that motor sound right?   Sounds like a skip to me but hey........I'm no expert.

Why does the rear wheel well pin stripes not go all the way down? The sound of that motor would make me nervous, definitely has an odd sound, almost a knocking

well the sound could be bad cause I think he used his phone to video it. Phone mics are not the best and can make things sound distorted. At least he got something for his money and he's happy with it. I say give it 6 months and when the bubbles start popping up in the paint and things start to go wrong he might sing a different song.

Well Joe Godar got his car from Build A Bandit yesterday. I'm sure a video on the BAB site is soon to follow. New cars have also appeared. a SO-CALLED 73 Z-28 that has an SS badge on the grill and a TA build labeled Huber.

 Congratulation Joe Godar! Now the REAL fun begins!

I too noticed what appeared like a wave in the passenger door.  Could just be the reflection?? 

The exhaust note is horrifying to say the least.  Almost sounds choked to me.  Probably has some nice hand made 2" exhaust and autozone mufflers. LOL 

At least this guy has something to show for his money.  Maybe he got a good deal because they left out the parking brake. ::) ::)
