I just browsed through your instagram posts- wow! All the current projects are fascinating, I am especially interested in the interior and suspension work you plan to do on the Shelby GT500 since I have a Shelby GT350R. Plus for historical reasons I would love to see what you have done to the America GS with some comprehensive photos- maybe I missed it?
