    was not expecting any awards at the autorama..just thought it was looking good and hoped some guys would let me know what they thought..been at it for almost 4 years..started with an engine..then bought a running car..tried to stay traditional..bought and scrounged for lots of parts,bought and scrounged for lots of wrong parts....had to sell or trade wrong parts for right parts....that seems to be a common pattern...c read verns book cover to cover and mostly followed it..met a great guy who runs a shop in detroit area bill Jaganow of brothers custom automotive.great guy and really kept me headed in the right direction.Bill and his right hand toady, chad kept the skill leval high and it would never be where its at if it was not for them... Eric from rily automotive was a big help...he answered any question i had,I know he has had some problems but he helped me out alot...thanks to the hamb that been the most help....

    No surprise, that is a good looking coupe. I guess you can't drive it in bad weather much.

    Who is the lady on the bike, by the way. Bike safety rules in MI are pretty relaxed that I can see.

    Great looking coupe, I said as soon as I came down the escalators that it was going to be a contender for sure. It's a great feeling to come home with some hardware from a show, especially one like the Autorama. Congrats!
