i just spent like 2 hours reading this whole thread... I am a diehard anti import "i could beat ya if i had more boost" type of a guy and i have to say... I LOVE THIS CAR! im going to show it to all the ricer kids some night and let the drool as i do...

side note: funniest thing on the thread was the jackass hater with the Z28, reminds me of a kid in my town with a white 95 z28 with an "Import Eater" sticker across his back hatch... BONE STOCK cant wait till he gets smoked.

You are Godly with a wrench and a welder... Congrats man

Shame on you for not wearing a respirator when painting. Then again, if you wouldn't have been huffing paint you might not have had the idea of the civette. Looks great man.

Man I actually saw this car as you were coming through nashville by pure luck. Your group had stopped in Kingston Springs, TN and i assume were eating at the Arby's/Shell station. I first noticed the REALLY nice supra, then your Lotus, and last but not least was your slightly unassuming civicvette, haha.

I snapped a few pics of it, the lotus and the supra while i was pumping gas, as my buddy refused to believe what i was telling him i was looking at on the phone. The fabrication work is top notch man!!

Congrats on a really nice build, and on enjoying the car!
