Greg, your right this is a beautiful build! Out of curiosity, what about this car appeals to you more?

Can't go wrong with black/red combo that's for sure!

It's a factory iron one with no carbs, I stole them off it for my wagon. Might sell them if the price was right I guess. I think it's a J-2, the carbs are 2G's.
I can get the numbers off it if you want.

Nailed looked to me like you had to be going on 90 years old to think it was a hot rod... Other than understanding the turbos etc -- the LOOKS were OLD MAN...

This car - I don't care what motor is in it -- it just looks like a hot rod. I want to jump in it - put the top down and say "punch it! I know the road...."

That hurts Greg.

I gotta disagree about Nailed but you're spot on in how this car looks. I think Gangsta Touring is a great way to describe Nailed

I rarely opine about someone else's build... it's their car... so as long as they love it... I'm good with that. But as a comparison between the two -- or even the THREE if you include Hal Wings (another TT build).... I'd take this black drop top any day.

I can see your point. It's definitely a different build style.
