Maybe someday rick will employ 1 luthor to do the custom work at the plant, And also use that person on the line when needed. Yes we all could dream of 360fs and 1996s 1997s and capris and 360 rms 350 shs but now ric has enough on their hands trying to get the stock models out to the dealers. I too wish things where different but the reality of the situation is not. Times have changed and the pace of life is much faster,and while i did have the question of a custom shop with rick 10 years ago through customer service my answer was maybe someday.We can all keep wishing.Ron

Here's Margaux....August of 1988. Of course she doesn't look anything like she did leaving the factory 22 years ago. I've posted many pictures before, but I don't think anyone has seen this one.
