Moal brings his cars to my hometown (Danville CA) coffee and cars. This morning he brought Gatto. Beyond amazing. All hand built from scratch. 164874 164873

Amazing.
I thought this kit would take me a year. If I had all the parts it would have been done in 2 months.

Thanks for sharing. Moal does some incredible work. I remember first hearing about him on the TV series Chasing Classic Cars, where he built a bespoke hot rod for Wayne Carini. They're true artisans.

Steve Moal was featured in a recent Hemmings panel discussion with other specialty car builders. This Hemmings article describes his incredible depth and skill:

BTW Gatto is Spanish for "cat".

Well, CaptB, I had all the parts and it only took me 12 years.
