    It saddens me deeply to tell everyone my good friend Nick Matranga passed away this morning. Many of you know of him by his custom 40 Merc. He will be greatly missed by all. Godspeed my friend!

    Here's a photo of Nick with his current project a 37 Chevy.

    RIP Nick. I once had Nick's 3 window for a while in the 80's. He knew how to put a car together and make it look great. He also did great transmission work for me. We will miss him.
