Joe,
I wanted to ask you about your blower. Did you get the 550 whipple kit? I plan on getting a blower really really soon but waiting for the forge internals to do it all at once and port heads. I was just worried with Cams, and ported heads would push the block to far with the 550 kit. I rather moved forward one step at a time then up forward just to go back and have to start over with block. Is there anything you would do diffrent? I want to spin the blower as much as I can get the most out of the car and tune. Can you send me a pm about the questions I have... you car looks great man!

Seats look great JOE! I got all the smoked lenses on mine too they make a big diffrence you will love them. Have you seen the new headlight buckets they have on American muscle? They are my X-mas gift to myself when I get back off cruise in a couple weeks. Car is going to look great when done. Cant wait to see it

Yeah those headlights are nice I'd probably get them if I didn't already have gt500 ones. They are kinda like the Foose Mustang lights

So... the body shop is not completely done with my hood yet and they still need to do the final polish on the new paint but I got some more good teaser pics for you guys.

Thanks everyone! I'm very happy with it! The only thing that didn't turn out just the way I wanted is the fitment of the louvers... they shifted a lil while they were drying and are a hair off but the body shop is gonna take care of it soon so no worries!
