That is a great car! And the best part is you let the Iowan do it in Day-2! That is a real nice car! I bet it looks killer in person!

Very Nice car, I hope you put Hurst guts under that Muncie handle. That sucka will produce more foul language than a bad dentist. Good luck with it and if you get down to Long Island, give me a holler. SULLY

i know ken and his crew put in some late nights and long days devoted to the hugger nova and i believe it shows ken's goal has always been to elevate the quality of their restorations on each new project regarding the muncie linkage ken does have the option of going to the modified hurst set-up with the muncie handle, so we are good to go either way.

thx, alan
