    Very good looking car. Obviously someone knew where all the bolts went.

    Mike,

    The car looks awesome. Ever time I see one finished I long for the day when mine is road worthy and complete. Maybe this summer. Very nice work.

    Looks AWESOME!!!
    I think the top really helps the colour...I already love that colour but the top just seems to really do something extra.

    Chuckster. My friend Mike Williams. He has painted cars for me in the past. He did my Daytona Coupe years ago.

    Mike I am curious is this the fastest you have ever completed a car and if not what is your record?

    First one I have seen with a luggage rack. I really like how many different ways there are for us all to individualize what is basically the same car! Very well done.

    Beautiful car. First time I've seen a luggage rack and it looks great. I like the color choice as well.

    Scott. This is probably the fastest build I have done. It really helped to have the customer there along side me. Even with his help it was still 160 hours for me.

    Holy cow. Some people spend more time plugging their build threads. Nice job Mr. Everson.
