Sunset cruise, break'n in the new streetport

Couple of quick shots from earlier tonight, trying to put some break in miles on the new engine....

Pertano Thanks man...

I'm already tryin to figure out how to justify havin' another ol school so soon. No mourning period or nothin'. Love that Cosmo man! Holla Bruh....
...Stock seats with two full hydes of new leather, some custom embroidery and and some "massaging" of the OG bolsters.

It's still looking for a new home. I want to get rid of it before I get to drive it. I have a feeling that I'm going to like this one. So you better act quick.

The Drop top is very nice though. I didn't even notice the seats until the guy mentioned them. Nice!!!

Streetport?

Tom,

I didn't know you took the red vert out of commission to get it streetported? Why the mod to the engine? Or are you getting ready to turn up the boost with a turbo kit?? Who did your engine work?

Looking good as always.

Yup...

Thats why I've been driving the white vert for the last month and a half or so. Sent out a few parts (side plates and housings) for porting plus threw in a couple a pineapple 6port sleeves and then Jim did the engine work. We put it all together in my garage this past week and I've been breaking it in starting a couple of days ago. Runs good, real good, but I can see why you, Mikey and the rest of the guys are "boost junkies". I can only imagine how bitchin this thing would be with a little boost... Thanks for the props Charlie, hope to see you guys soon.

What lip spoiler is that?

And the seats look awesome. Are they as supportive as they look?
