That has got to be one of the nicest SAs I have seen in a while. I give you big props on the creativity and keeping with the racing heritige that the RX family has inspired.

*holding my heart*

That is just plain beautiful on so many levels... IMO it is the best SA/FB I've seen. It's so close to being over the top, but it is just freaking perfect.

So why don't you show us that Ford in there?

BTW... check his other build thread for answers to all of your questions.

OH, and thanks for the new batch of desktop images.

Thanks very much. I hoped most would like it and perhaps give some ideas to others who are in a project. Here is a collage. It's kinda cool. Just put all the pics into one for the most part. Please by all means use it for a background. That would be really cool. Thanks!

Another thing that really sets it off that nobody has mentioned are the tucked SA bumpers. There is a guy in Vacaville who has a very nice 79 that he did that to years ago. I plan on doing that to my spark yellow 79 when I start tearing it apart.

Awesome work, enjoy your car.

I love it man, the fact that you did it all yourself and your the same age as me makes me even more in awe. I've been watching your other thread for a while, looks great altogether!

I need a towel. That is unbelievably well done. I hope you have a really good security system because there's going to be a lot of eyes on that car. Great job

Superb work!!

Its very obviously not stock,but also not overly flashy.The use of flat black accents,the simple aero mods and fender flairs, along with the stance and wheels really harkens back to the car's race heritage.Your attention to details AND simple,race-ready execution compliment each other very well.

My favorite SA hands down.........

You should never assume things like that.

In his other thread theres a glimpse of what looks to be a SBF sitting in it.

That car is so freaking beautiful I think anything that gets it down the road is forgivable, even a ford.

I can't stop looking at these pics.

he said he's throwing a 5litre in it in one of his earlier threads. That thing is absolutely ridiculous. And he did it in like 6 months. I **** around way too much. If anyone here (myself included) spent their time working on their cars instead of on this forum, I bet we'd have a lot more cars looking like his instead of looking like mine.
