    Here are some pics of my A coupe. The first is from 1/27/12, the day I brought it home. Of course there were a lot of pictures in between then and now. I just pained the wheels and put the hub caps and trim rings on ( with the help of my 4 year old Grandson).
    I want to say thanks to all my friends that got to set the body on and off several time. Also those who helped with technical advice and another set of eyes. Also thanks to Jack and Drew at Dropped Axle Productions and especially my Son who painted it for me. Most of all thanks IMG_8966.jpg IMG_9201.jpg IMG_3336.jpg IMG_9061.jpg 003.JPG 011.JPG 003.JPG 007.JPG my wife for her enthusiasm, encouragement and approval.
    Good or bad here it is. Done?? probably not.

    That is so awesome! Great job! I think it looks perfect just as it sits. I love the ride height & how you did the rims, & the motor. Plus you've got the added bonus of an awesome wife & family that look to be as excited about it as you are.

    I'd walk past a lot of cars at a show, but would stop at yours to check it out closer.
    Different, unique enough to stand out.

    No wonder it looks so good. The dude in the Star Wars t shirt is obviously the detail man.
