    It saddens me deeply to tell everyone my good friend Nick Matranga p***ed away this morning. Many of you know of him by his custom 40 Merc. He will be greatly missed by all. Godspeed my friend!

    Here's a photo of Nick with his current project a 37 Chevy.

    Never knew of him and couldn't pick him out of a crowd.... but I damn well knew of the car. God Speed, we should all be so fortunate to leave a mark such as that.

    RIP Nick. I once had Nick's 3 window for a while in the 80's. He knew how to put a car together and make it look great. He also did great transmission work for me. We will miss him.
