WD40- Thank you very much

MetroMPG- I actually just started driving recently. I can pretty much bike anywhere I need to go so i havent used much fuel. You're probably wondering why I have a car and did these mods? My mom is going back to school for nursing and she's going to be busy all the time, so I got the car pretty much for baseball and fun. I go out of town a lot for baseball so I figured it wouldn't hurt to save some money going there.

With my estimated miles per year of $2,500, it'll take me 2 years to pay for all my mods. Which isn't too bad with such low mileage. Most of all, the project was a lot of fun. Not necessarily "worth-it" in my case, but I'll know how to do it to my commuter car when I'm older

Big Dave- I can definitely see the similarities between the shelby and my car. I just wish I had all that horsepower...

The moment you have all been waiting for:






There are still many hours ahead of me finishing, sealing, and painting the tail, but for now, I consider the project mostly complete. I can't wait to take it for a test drive as soon as I figure out a way to seal the boat tail to the car.
