    Future Plans

    TIGER CAGE! It would look SICK with the top down not to mention benefits of having a 4 point harness. Body panel alignment all the way around. PAINT - had a hardtop 68 Camaro in high school I sprayed Guards Red while taking auto body and fender repair vocational training classes. The blue is cool but really like to shoot it RED.
