Decals received, they look awesome! Working 7 days a week right now so it may be a bit before they get installed. Contemplating getting some bodywork and paint done first but I may just wait for that and hit you up for another set after.

Nice! I'll need to ask Jon for a set for me later this year, once I scrape money together for them and the Indy decals he has worked-up... Woody did the work for my GTU's custom decal -"3.8 SUPERCHARGED", and it looks perfect.

7 year update.... managed to spend time off and on with the car, but not nearly what I would've liked. Pulled the engine and installed the wottech stage 2 cam kit and injectors, modified and jet coated S&S headers, a high flow pusher fan setup, threw in the FE7 front bar in while the engine was out, threw in the koni adjustables in with the eibachs, and the neon rear discs. Changed the wheels to OZ Ultraleggeras with some sticky Firestone Firehawks. Still haven't gotten a proper tune which is irritating.
Then when the covid mess hit, I was gifted with some time off so I finally swapped in the black interior. Had a custom shift knob made which I think turned out pretty well. Still need to fix the fender and door dent, but I'm at the point where the car is too far down on the list to get the attention.

Whoa! Jon B is still alive! Car is looking clean...certainly better than mine after this year. I'm guessing no racing with it if you don't have a good tune? Depending on your format I can send you my tune as a starter...might be close. (WOT heads & cam on a 3400 with 28lb injectors on a 7730 ECM).
I love black, but I'm not sure I'm digging black wheels on a white car. They seem to disappear with all that contrast. Who made the shift knob? Looks kinda like a custom "SpeedDawg" one.

Yeah Woody, still alive and kickin. Too intolerable to drive to make the 2hr trip to the track. I agree about the wheels, they were meant for the black U but that's been buried in the corner for years so I threw them on. The shifter is from Twizted Shifters. I'll hit you up about the tune, I have to change mounts...again...and fix a coolant pipe leak (pinhole leak where it was brazed), then maybe I'll try again.
