Default A few new pics of Nathans car.....Yeah I finally drove it after all this time.

Well this car has been bitter sweet in it's build.
As many of you know I was building this for my son's 16th birthday. Sadly he passed away 8 months prior. This is the first time it has been out of the garage in a couple of years. I am real close to having it finished. Toss on some paint, get some actuators for the doors and get the glass back in and call it a day.

It needs an alternator......Anyone got one?










Have a good one everyone.

sorry to hear bout your son man
but that car actually looks pretty good.
I kinda like the flat black, but think maybe a different spoiler or no spoiler would suit it better

Thanks dude.
The finished paint will be a satin or flat black.
The motor will come out one last time for a brake and fuel line tuck as well as a matching bay paint job.

I need to make a list of everything I stuck in this car.
Never seen anyone use the carbon fiber to cover ugly pads. I get alot of compliments on the idea.

Thanks again.

If this was someone's else's car...that person would get flamed on. Anyhow, I appreciate how you kept it that way after your son passed away.

I must say I would have loved to have had that car when I turned 16. Good work and looks like a lot of hard work went into it.
