I had the pleasure of meeting Tom this Spring when I picked up some heat exchangers from him. Tom's car is outstanding in person. Fit and finish are first class. Every detail is perfect. I also had the pleasure of getting a ride in it, the sound and feel match the great looks.
I'm getting ready to unwrap my Excellence that arrived today, crack open a cold beer and read all about it. Congtrats Tom, well deserved. Regards, Ed

Mine still has not arrived in the mail. Can't wait.
Thanks for all the great compliments on the car and the article. As I've said many times before, it's the people on this forum that make these kinds of projects possible. I could not have done this without your help.

Amazing how long it takes for 'Excellence' to get from the west coast. Still haven't got my issue...and I'm really anxious to see Tom's car in print. The 'Excellence' stamp of approval kind of makes these cars folk heros, as well they should be.
Way to go Tom, what a car!!!

Excellent work!!!
I especially like the part of the article when Tom says he'd get up early to work on the car before work. I'm a morning person so maybe I should start doing that. Unfortunately I have to be at work at 6:30 so I'd be up really early.
