Keep in mind...not near the detail or pics like the lv or lpb thread.
You also might have to join the site to see the pics on the thread, otherwise you have to click on each pic link I think.

I do know Poser was up to see him last weekend and I am almost sure it was the "car show" weekend again.... I have not seen any pics from the weekend, but I can assume Matt was driving this car by now!
He last posted in the hot rod forum in late May that it was running and he was driving it. It looks pretty cool! He estimated that he came in less than a grand over his $3K budget. That is impressive.

Figured I better post a few pics, little update 
Yes, I have been driving it...since early May. Been a couple bugs to work out, but nothing to major. Drives pretty decent, I have no interior yet so it's a little loud, but overall ok.
Poser and his girlfriend were up this last weekend for the local car show, we had a blast. He's pretty die hard dude, drove his 63 bel air up from the cities....400 miles
Actually he won an award for the farthest distance traveled. Hoping he can make it up again soon, maybe he'll drive something else. In fact, the Warroad show is June 21st if you read this Steve 
Posted a pic of this last weekend at the show...didn't win anything, only the shiny cars win stuff. That's ok though...I had a blast and a lot of people looking at my junk, fun to see. Kinda like bringing an old Landcruiser to a car show....people aren't sure what to make of it ;p Other 2 are from a few weeks ago out in the driveway, couple glamour shots after I rolled it out and started driving it.

Hey Butch!
The pleasure was all mine, both of us had a great time. It's always fun putting a name with a face! That was great looking at all those cruisers and meeting everyone. Hoping to make it up your way at some point, if not this trip maybe the next one. I may even try to make a trip south for next years Lonestar round up!!

Matt. Have not forgotten about you needing handles. I am sure I have a complete extra set that has been rechromed as new. Trouble is, my LV is in California where it is taking painstakingly long for the restoration to be completed. I have completed 2 other FJs here since it has been gone. When I get a chance to see it again in person, I will get a set.
sweet truck hope mine can get there one day
