Dude, really like what you've done with the car! Nice touches, a mix of the old and new, a little retro as well! Tastefully done. Very nice!

Thanks for that. I tried to keep the improvements inline with style of the car, and not go too modern.

Not Sure if you saw this but Hot Rod just did a great write up on you and your car.

The 1973 Hurst Pontiac Grand Am That Never Was

Pontiac might be dead but its fans still know how to build excitement.

Thanks for posting it. I was very fortunate to be at the car when Johnny Huckins from Hot Rod showed up. We got to talking and it all wound up as an opportunity to get the car published. Johnny was fantastic to work with. The photo shoot was in the desert north of Palm Springs. I had to do at least forty 50mph passes for him to get the action shot. Of course it was the hottest day of the year so far in early February, about 93 degrees. I had to move the car in various positions to get the lighting he wanted. Johnny is a complete professional and I was lucky to work with him. He even invited me to his place afterward for a cold beer. The whole thing too about 5 hours. The print version is scheduled to come out in the June issue which hits the news stand in April. So now that the magazine feature is checked off the bucket list, I need something else to aspire to....SEMA Show!!
