I wish my engine compartment looked that good. I also love the color. She's a 10!

Wow! This car has an Aston Martin like look. Hmmm. I am re-thinking my own restoration.

Hey Norm, I Love thoses wheels, can i get some more info on them? Who makes them? Did you have to modify the axles or bolt holes or do they fit on stock? Also did you do any body modifications to it, the car looks longer in the pictures.

Very classy and frankly inspiring. I'd give it a 10 but then what would be left? There must be something! Can we see under the bonnet? Nice work Norm!

Beautifull color, like the B without overriders.

Again my rating but now with comment. I've stuck on a 9 because there's no picture from under the bonnet. When that looks just as good as the exterior I'm short of points. A wunderful looking car that gives this small car the looks of a highclass executive sportscar. I wonder Norm if you used an extra coat of clearpaint. There's a lot of "dept" in the paint. Greetings from the Netherlands to you all!!
