Nice man. I had no idea the history of your car. Good job.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Saw this on facebook and immediately recognized your car!  Congrats that is something to be very proud of.  Hell I was in the background of a pic in HOT ROD that was taken during Power Tour one year and thought that was cool...I can't imagine the feeling of having my own feature spread!  Awesome!
