    FYI , the gold manifolds were a result of manifold paint gone wrong . Suppose to be cast color

  4. Wow, fantastic! I've been planning an A build in the same colors for a couple years now. Such a classic combo. I'm glad you stuck with it and brought this one to completion.

    Thinking about driving 70 on the interstate , that's the fastest this little coupe had ever traveled.

    Congratulations, you have done an incredible job on this car. I love unchopped coupes and yours is beautiful. I had to laugh though, when you posted the shots of Scott's Bluff and Carhenge earlier. I sent those pics to my son. He used to have to travel to Alliance Nebraska once a year to the huge rail yard that his employer in Illinois owned. He absolutely hated making the trip. Then another co-worker went there with him and they took in Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument and the two you posted among others. Best business trip he ever went on according to him. I love the way the 32 turned out. Oh and I did get him to get me a T shirt from Car Henge.
     
  29. Uh maze ing!! Well done. Gives all us slackers hope...
