Look What I Saw Today

I was making my rounds at work today and just happened by a shop that was working on a FD. The shop manager told me to go look under the hood....I was like "Damn". This was not your ordinary FD....check out the pics. The shop manager does a lot of custom work on the side. He molded in the side skirts prior to painting it pearl white. It's good to know ppl who run shops....might have to get some paint work done on my ride.

I was suprised when the shop manager told me the guy lives about 15 mins from me and I have never seen it on the road. The owners next step is to gut the tan interior and replace it with black. Seeing how I used to do upholstery I told the shop manager if the guy wants some custom seat work put him in touch with me. Black seats with white inserts would look nice.....in my opinion. Haven't done my interior yet but it will eventually happen.

Must be fun driving in stock trim(225/45-18) but the sound of a V8 will give you away.
