    Great write-up. Was interested (again) to read the background of the stick/shifter. What a special tribute. And a nice build too.

    Congrats! That is a beautiful car. It's a similar color scheme to the one I am doing. Mine will be Charcoal with 2 Lava Orange stripes and a couple orange fender stripes on each side. That's really something when your creation is put out there for everyone to see. I hope I get there.......Kyle
