Thanks, our cars are driven on a regular basis. I drive mine almost everyday to work and on weekends. Those show cars you see are rarely driven. I will be getting body and paint done by next year but that will not stop me from driving

New update- been driving the 616 all over and it runs like a raped ape! I just finished making custom made front and rear strut tower braces. Just need to paint them.
