Mike opted for hidden trunk and hood latches ( due to the originals always reminded me of my garage door outside handles ), fronts are bear claw on rear corners and the rear is a pin latch.

"Much of this car I made at my old friends race car shop and used templates I copied off others, cooling is done with SP radiator and 2 speed fan. External trans filter behind right headlamp ( due to 1 exploded planetary set for low gear ) thought I finished in spring of 2006 but we all know your never done. options radio and cruise control."

Great job Mike on a great looking car!
