I already talked to him about a potential next project. I am super impressed so far. Of course there is still the part of making it all black and pretty before I make total judgement but I have nothing but great things to say so far.

Very nice, I could have sworn I saw an sc, same color , same wheels at a collision shop on Sheridan next to gaulins with some damage to the rear quarter panel and a soarer badge, I thought it was yours at first. These are one of my favorite cars

Rear damage typically totals these cars. I know Nick Pearl has a black one with a turbo on it that has been mistaken for me several times. I am rarely out and about with my car…its really a part time, take to dinner, go for a cruise vehicle.

I could never compete with your car for Stance King of WNY!

I would completely agree that it is a good idea but the car is as low as its going to be and I run a 10.5 rear wheel now with no rubbing or issues.

Never hurts to be prepared but the car is just about to the point I am going to call it done for a while.

For fairly cheap. Figure I’d let you know

that is my friend nick’s (i think) that was often mistaked for 2turboZ’s here. someone pulled out into him and total’d the car. was a big turbo car. he was pretty excited about having it, and only had it for like 2 weeks before someone hit it. what a shame

I mean with everything else on the car id opt to have it fixed, turbo sc’s are hard to come by and most are usually hacked together pretty badly. I do remember seeing that same car drivin down genesse smoking pretty badly so who knows maybe it needs mechanical work to.
