btw chico, something esle you could do is do the 04+ seat upgrade or maybe a quad bucket seats would be cool, the katskins are cool but not for the price you pay for them you could do a diff seat swap and add a rear center con, for less money,
and do you have any pictures from the show ??

Way to go Chico!!!!
I tend to take home a trophy when there are judges. Not so much when voting is done by participants.
Judges usually score by interior, exterior, engine and over all presentation(tires, wheels etc.)..... Participants usually score by "their favorite car".

That would be pretty trick. Can you do a write-up for us? That might be something to consider when the kids are out of car/booster seats.

Ordezone that looks real nice for what I can see,I may just try a setup like that maybe with 04 seats ,the seats I put in (racing buckets) are going to have to go not soft enough for me,if anyone is interested in purchasing them I'll give you a good deal,they bolt right in I welded GP brackets to them so the drivers side is stll power .

I plan on doing some sort of write up, i have a thread on it if you have questions and stuff. http://www.grandprix.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=008160;p=1#000000 Its still not done, as i need to find access to a welder to get the seats in there.

Thats pretty sick lookin! That was prolly while I was in 'Bama, wasnt it?
The car that Drummer had posted was nice, but a little overkill on the red.
Hurry up and finish that project! I wanna see finished product!!!
