I kind of liked it but, we can't have much nice paint out here because of the road.

well the picture throws it off , my dog joe ...being a greyhound he is big but cant go by that pic
this picture reminds me of when guys go fishing for large mouth bass and they take picture of a 12 inch fish in front of them so the picture looks like a 2 ft long fish lol
pistons look nice ....wasnt sure but the quality i can see of the icon pistons are pretty nice

The pictures of your car on the bumper looks pretty cool.

That's the guy I was thinking of. He makes doors as well. How's the fit. Someone said the hood was a bit short on the back but would get fixed next time he made more. I'm getting one for my Futura.

i put the doors on yesterday and doing the fenders this week , and fitting with dzus fasteners .
by the looks its hsould fit good ...i think by the windshield it may need to be trimmed a little . (maybe he made them a bit longer there for fitment )

The X275 car sounds like Jim Plimpton from Wisconsin maybe?
