We got the car through Colorado emissions testing, and license plates are on order. It has turn signals and DOT drag radials, so it's street legal now... heeeere ricer, ricer, ricer...

Matt has this magical beer fridge that never goes empty. I have no idea how he does it. But I do believe I saw the beer tanker truck parked in the alley behind his house while we were working, and there was a large hose going to the house.

It's amazing what you can do in the back seat of a 64 Nova. Back in '74, they didn't allow girls (or beer) in the dorm.

PS Very nice car. Extremely nice color.

I actually was just thinking about this project the other day and was wondering if it was done. It looks truly amazing, but come on, the price tag is a bit misleading isn't it? $10K in parts is one thing, but you really can't put a price on that fabrication and finish work

Can't wait to see pics of teh 64 roadster build.

Lars, I didn't know you painted too. Maybe you can paint mine on your third annual trip to Toronto

Great job on the car. How the hell do you find time
