Decided to build one of my favorite cars back in 2005. Ordered the kit from Factory Five Racing and started work on it in January of 2005. Car was completed in September of 2006 with most work done on Saturdays. Painted in PPG E4 with the stripes being PPG Vibrance black covered with PPG clear. Car has also been ceramic coated. Car has appeared in magazines, calendars and has been featured on the show Caffeine and Octane based out of Atlanta. With 21k miles on the odometer she is used often and is garners attention wherever it goes.
