I had the chance to view this car at the recent Waterwagens event this summer in Kent, WA. The pictures truly don't show how great this car really is. The attention to detail really makes this car stand out. Great Job. Next time I hope I'll have the chance to talk a bit.

Hmm, no...but I guess I should take my lazy self down to the garage and take some. I don't think the top has been up more than three times. I drive the car a lot here is Southern California, and it is almost a crime to put the top up. The top is beige.

Thank you. To really appreciate the color, you need to see it in the sun, in person. It has so much depth to it.

I bet...I would love to see that car in person. Unfortunately for me Cali is a bit far from NY! Green is my favorite color! Especially a dark green like that! I say again..AMAZING!!! If there were a drool smiley it would be right here ~~> :drool:

Great looking car and lots of nice mods. One question for you, it looks like it is an automatic. Any reason for choosing that over a manual? Especially since you have done some nice engine mods. Just curious. Thanks.
