Yes ! We have lights!!! And look at that front suspension!!!!!!! This 72 Gran Torino should hug the the road nicely . Mike Rowe did an awsome job setting this car up and lowering it as well. Getting all the final items in and working. Mike Butler plans on driving it to its first show Sat at Fortin Park Oneonta N.Y. Getting closer every day. JE

Just a few shots of Mike Rowes craftmenship that is only seen when the wheels are off. Truly a site to see. Interior is being finished by Jim Daly Upholstery. We all have our work cut out for ourselves to make our deadline. Mike Butler has been patient with this build from begining to end. Thank you for all your help and support in building your car.
