Today I walked out of the local tag office with an official Tennessee plate! I winced a little at the cost, but took it all back with a quarter tank of gas on the local roads. I will only admit that I kept it under 100 mph!

I took delivery in September of 2023 with a well timed delivery by Blueprint Engines. I’ve spent a good amount of time enjoying the build with family and friends, and some of the time practicing a voluminous combination of colorful language.

I have a few items left to do, namely the side louvers (on back order) and the wheel well metal. I kept the build as simple as possible—plenty of opportunities down the road for improvements or changes. Thank you to all for your support and ideas, many of which I incorporated into the build.

The paint is Viking Blue by Ken Pike, the engine is a 347, and has the Sniper setup with power steering.

It’s been a pleasure so far!

Thanks for the offer. I ordered a set from FF5 and they are on back order. I have the ones from the complete kit if this goes sideways—or maybe I’ll have an extra set as well!

Very cool. May it bring you years of fun and lots of hours of modifying by choice, not necessity. ;)
