I hear ya, you know I am about looks.....Bling King.....

As I said, looking good! Impressive that this has been done completely in your garage, just shows that it can be done! I am too much of a ***** to take on a project like that.....or maybe I am just lazy.

i would love to but i am going to have about $6k in just parts and lots of hours. that price includes air filters to tail pipe so maybe thats not that bad.

if i produce anything it will be a super basic budget single kit. something with 500+hp avaliable for under $4k. i was kind of thinking about working on that over the winter.

Hmmn - maybe it is just me but I think you might find a lot of takers for just such a kit. Great Work!
