    Graduate Matt's Gen 2 Coupe #629

    After almost 4 years, I can say I'm officially done and can graduate. I ordered the kit on October 15, 2013 and drove down and picked it up on a cold (hit -14F) January 4, 2014. Had it painted last summer, got the VIN and plates in December and finished the last of the MA inspections on May 8, 2017. I couldn't say I was officially finished until I had a chance to give my mom a ride in it. That happened tonight, so I'm done. Here are a bunch of pictures of the finished product:

    Thanks Garry. Yeah, I have a couple below that I took previously when building it, but now that it's done I'll need to take a few more. Let me do that tonight.

    In the meantime, here's a couple:

    Thanks Carl. She loved it. She said it reminded her of 50 years ago when Dad was "courting" her and took her for a ride in his corvette and went 100MPH.
    Don't worry, I didn't go anywhere near 100....
