Please graduate Hot Rod #304
Please graduate Hot Rod #304 "Bonnie" she is finished (for now). I have a few things I want to do but its together and I'm looking forward to driving while the weather is good. A little recap on Bonnie, I bought it Memorial day weekend of 2017 from the original owner in Massachusetts, trailered it home and starting working on it. It had the front and rear suspension, steering and firewall mounted. I assembled it and smoothed out the parting lines on the body and primed those areas only. Got the VIN inspection and title August 24th of 2017. Drove it until December when it started snowing, at that point it had 2,953 miles on it. I then started the tear down and body work, I've done body work before but never painted a car. So I figured this would be the one to paint. It took me longer then I wanted but its finally done. I changed out the 4-point racing harnesses to 3-point standard seat belts, added a radio, with back up camera and navigation, heat and air conditioning, heated seats, a convertible top, changed the gauges to antique beige (I think they fit the color of the car better) and countless other things to make it mine. It has a 2011 Coyote engine, Tko500 transmission, Moser 8.8 rear differential with 3.31 gears and a 3-link suspension. All of the shocks have been changed to QA1 with lower spring rates. (I want to cruise not auto cross)

I added two pics of the Coyote per David's request. I will get pictures with the top on in the next couple of days. I want to see how it looks too.

You Really Nailed It From The Color, Stance & Rake!
Less is definitely more until you see that Coyote under the hood.
Love That Root Beer Color Too!
Congratulations!
