    FYI , the gold manifolds were a result of manifold paint gone wrong . Suppose to be cast color

    Wow, fantastic! I've been planning an A build in the same colors for a couple years now. Such a cl***ic combo. I'm glad you stuck with it and brought this one to completion.

    Thinking about driving 70 on the interstate , that's the fastest this little coupe had ever traveled.

    Congratulations, you have done an incredible job on this car. I love unchopped coupes and yours is beautiful. I had to laugh though, when you posted the shots of Scott's Bluff and Carhenge earlier. I sent those pics to my son. He used to have to travel to Alliance Nebraska once a year to the huge rail yard that his employer in Illinois owned. He absolutely hated making the trip. Then another co-worker went there with him and they took in Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument and the two you posted a**** others. Best business trip he ever went on according to him. I love the way the 32 turned out. Oh and I did get him to get me a T shirt from Car Henge.
