English Toy March 15, 2015, 08:33:14 PM A customer of ours dropped this beauty off for final body work and paint. It's setup for a non blue oval power train and has the corresponding suspension under it as well. Quote Selected

Probably not of it completed as the owner will finish all that and the interior as well.Hopefully by the time it's ready for paint, the owner will have finally made up his mind on the color Quote Selected

The engine bay is literally the width of the hood. The Z06 engine going to be pushing 600+ hp and in a barley 2000 lb shell. Can anyone guess what the yr/make/model is?? Quote Selected

I had a buddy paint a '86 Stang GT for me and he kept threatening to paint it Henry's color(black) if I didn't give him a color... Well it was orig black, then silver, and next burgundy when I got it(all in like seven years) and I owned a burgundy '86 Grand Marquis, so that wasn't going to happen... Finally on the way to work I spied a new Teal '93 Cobra Stang and it hit me THAT"S THE COLOR!!!The Jag is way cool even with Chevy power, I'll take a LS over a mod motor any day... Kinda kick myself as I had a chance to buy a wrecked van(and not that bad, but frame was Z'd) with the 6.0 & like 25K mi for $1000 & I passed it up... That was just before I bought the Comet, If I'd have already had it, it'd likely be sportin' Chebby power... Quote Selected

He didn't want a "finicky" Brit engine and "No way" was he going to put a blue oval in there, although he loves the boss's 521. And on another note, The owner has decided on a dark metallic green. Finally!! Quote Selected
