We'll I pulled the trigger, been planning for a while and finally made the order since they had the 50/50 deal going... Ended up saving me 2400.00 on options! Hard to pass up!

Pretty darn excited!

I just built An Muscle Car Garage next to my house to stable a few horses(cars) and it should be a perfect fit for such a project!

I plan to build and paint the car myself, my old man was a body man during my childhood and helped him restore some muscle cars in my teens... This should bring back some great memories! Hopefully Dad will get to visit and turn a few wrenches on this one as well!

I decided to go old school 15 inch wheels, 351stroked to 408 w.425 HP TKO tranny 373 rearend gears, should be a beast! going dark Blue, white stripes, all four white race numbers (98) basically like Tony Stark's Cobra in the movie IronMan!

These cars are so freakin awesome....!!!!

Congratulations! What transmission and options are you going with? I'm using a Coyote (5.0) engine, Tremec 600 transmission and 3.55 gears in the IRS but most with the larger cubes go to the 3.27. I'm sure others will chime in on some pros and cons. Anyway, welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

Congrats - pulled the trigger on mine last week...the sale made my do it :)

Plans sound good - blue & white is a great combo! More importantly, what extras are you planning on - have to know what everyone spent the extra sale savings on.

Hi guys,
Pulled the trigger myself yesterday and picked up and drove home my donor car last night on the way back to Maine from FFR. Pretty stoked myself! I'm building on a budget with the base kit and donor car but I sprung for the 3 link and most of the options that are must haves. Really looking forward to building and driving....

Picked mine up last Saturday. Finishing up the inventory today and might get stated on some front suspension. Also going to build a buck for the frame so that I can role it around. Got the body hung up on the ceiling last weekend. Missing a few items that are on backorder, but there are lots of things to get going on.

Congrats! I did the same...have just been waiting for another sale...Was disappointed to find out that it only includes options on the kit options form and not the actual online store...I couldn't get 50 off on the PIN drive wheels:(

Oh well can't wait to get mine delivered...
