Were you at the dinner Saturday night? If so, did you have to borrow a chair from another table to make room for you or your friend? I think I may have been sitting right behind you.
I actualy did'nt get to the dinner. I was not registered.

Boy, that's hard to believe...The Pyranha is almost as legendary as the 1990 prototype, and for it to appear and be a one-off is simply amazing! He must have gone through a couple of color changes then because I have pictures of the Pyranha in multiple colors.
As I said in another thread, if someone were to splash that car and sell a kit they would become a millionaire in about 10 minutes.
Roy, I need to get my car back on the show circuit before you collect all the trophies for "best custom interior"

Better hurry. After "The Wife" heard all the comments from the people at the show, she's now wanting one for her car. There may be two of them from the mrfixit58 stable there next year .

She's a smart person and definately your better half.
Nice to see you again at Daytona.

I plan to have my completed firebird interior at Wheatstock and give you a run for your money for that "best custom interior trophy"
Well, I shouldn't reveal too much yet, but I have all the parts I need on hand to convert my daily driver to the firebird interior, and I'm thinking about how I can make a kit in the process. I keep getting requests for turn-key firebird interiors, (which I don't have time to do) but a kit is certainly within the realm of possibilities.

The dirty rat well,......that car is just plain boss ! If you don't know what that means it means plain nasty ! When he fired that baby out and rolled out for lunch, everybody in the place was gawking and drooling.

Thanks for the kind words. It was great to get to drive it a bit before leaving it behind. Even though the starter was giving me a fit, it was still a blast! It appears like I'm getting the look I was after. Wait till its done!!

Just got back from Daytona, and I must say Wow ! There were some awesome cars there and I am sure there will be tons of pictures out, but let me be the first to say pictures cannot do these cars justice at all, they must be seen in person to really appreciate.
For instance there was a convertible there from B and B spyder that was just killer. The guy told me he threw it together in 2 just weeks !! The custom tweek he did to the IRM rockers is wicked !
