Thanks Maddog.  I wasn't sure about how it was going to look when I came up with the idea, but I sure like it now that I see it.

your welcome Priya now to keep my younger sister from seeing the pics of your sx/4 because if she sees them she will want me to do one of my wagons just like it. :rotfl:

Work on the Eagle is being temporarily delayed.  Some good citizen broke the driver's side window in my Corvette 3 days ago so we had to push the Eagle out of the garage so the Corvette can sit in it.  We're going to get a window out of Calgary but can't order it for another 4 days.  In the meantime we're working on the Eagle outside and I don't have a lot I can do on it right now as Ward is wiring up the motor and other stuff I don't want to attempt.  I tried to install a u-joint on the rear driveshaft today and dented it taking out the old one - now I don't want to touch anything mechanical.  I have dash pieces to install but again there's wiring to be done so I can't put it together.  If I feel courageous and Ward says its Okay I might try installing the header and intake next week, other than that I'm going to shop for some sticky trim to seperate the lower body colour from the upper and figure out designs for some decals I want to add.

I was instructed by a u joint specialist older than you and I combinded maybe. Haha. Anyway put the free ends loose in a vise. Loose. Than hit the fat part of the shaft. I had one stuck so bad my press could not budge it. Took it 3 whacks done. I was shock and awe and grumpy about my press.

Yes, that was one of my goals, the ultimate winter car.

Thanks Shanebo.  I got the Corvette out of the garage yesterday so the Eagle is back in its rightful place.

The contrast of blue and purple put together is really interesting.  Really creates a pop to my eyes lol.  Nice work, once again.

Thanks Robert, I'm really pleased with how different it looks.  I'm thinking of painting my Corvette blue and purple as well.
