what do you mean by where did i get my wheel wells done? lol

stereo is bottom of the line wal-mart cd player, with the 2 front speakers

carb is a stock nikki. i've removed the choke and port matched the intake manifold.

i have no idea how much the car weighs, i can only estimate. but i'd say under 2000 with a driver.

the piece is a flange used for an exhaust pipe on top of a house, i picked it up at lowes!

and yes, my harness is sliced and diced, but everything i want to work still works

roll bar is down the road...i plan to turn it into a dedicated track car. but for now it's my daily driver


the interior is V3 i beleive...the exterior is wal-mart flat black
