Lateral G gives the best/most feedback, which makes it worthwhile. We've even had some folks from here stop by the shop and look at these cars in person.

I also lament the decline of print media - I grew up reading mags like HOT ROD as a kid, got the bug from turning those pages and at a few early wrenching jobs, and at least HR is still going strong. I keep a half dozen subscriptions to my favorite car mags (which we keep in the lobby) and I still hold out hope that there can be a resurgence in this format.

This M3 project should be wrapping up fairly quickly, and then 69 Camaro (below) can get more full time attention. I am going to work on that build thread next...

I guess these builds kind of foster more of the same, as there is a new Pro Touring Vega project that a customer is bringing in soon. Full custom frame-up build for Goodguys/Optima/CAM use. If the admins allow it, I will continue to share our domestic powered builds here at Lateral G.

I've wanted to stop by more than once but would hate to interrupt the process. I missed the Open House you had because I was out of town. Hoping you have some sort of annual event in the future......

Thanks as always for documenting and sharing all the great work you do! I agree with everyone else's sentiments. Your work is outstanding and sharing your knowledge/struggles is very much appreciated! Cannot tell you how much time it took me to mount seats in my car and it's still not right, lol.
