Graduate Matt's Gen 2 Coupe #629

[mtwarog]

After almost 4 years, I can say I'm officially done and can graduate. I ordered the kit on October 15, 2013 and drove down and picked it up on a cold (hit -14F) January 4, 2014. Had it painted last summer, got the VIN and plates in December and finished the last of the MA inspections on May 8, 2017. I couldn't say I was officially finished until I had a chance to give my mom a ride in it. That happened tonight, so I'm done. Here are a bunch of pictures of the finished product:

Thanks Garry. Yeah, I have a couple below that I took previously when building it, but now that it's done I'll need to take a few more. Let me do that tonight.

In the meantime, here's a couple:

Matt,

Congratulations on a really very nice looking ride ... What did your Mom think?

Carl

Thanks Carl. She loved it. She said it reminded her of 50 years ago when Dad was "courting" her and took her for a ride in his corvette and went 100MPH. :)
Don't worry, I didn't go anywhere near 100....
