Everytime I go on stanceworks, I look for M Burroughs threads, just so I can be amazed at his work. With your last three threads, I am literally at loss of words. Amazing build story and work, I absolutely love rusty.

Sorry for using your photo mike, if you want i'll take it down. But i think if you were to section the vent and re-add it to the C pillar it'd be money

Seriously, the best word i feel for this is...INSANITY.
The story behind it only makes it that much better.

The tops slowly growing on me, Only thing i'd change would be re-add the rear C-pillar vents.

mike, you, and rusty were dubbed legends once the hood when rusty, and the rack hit the roof, and then after you fully rusted it, and then after the JZ went in. But this by far has topped anything you, or anyone else have ever done. entire 2nd half of the build thread my jaw was open to the bottom of the page.
top build of our generation is an understatement

I send this thread to everyone who just thinks this car is a piece.

The amount of work and dedication that went into this car is stunning.

Seeing this car in person completely trumps seeing it in pictures.

Pictures do NOT do this car justice. I've seen it in it's latest iteration at H20i a few weeks ago and it looks absolutely amazing in person.

Greatest and most comprehensive build thread evar.

Great job mike.

Coolest... thread... EVER...

It's really neat to see all of the cars history in one place! Still not a fan of the chop top but there is no denying how cool this thing is!

This thread consists of nothing but the utmost epic fucking win ever.

The long-throw shifter has to be my favorite part. We're still pouring over this car at Fluid. If you ever feel like jacking up the bags and making the trip back to Plainfield in Rusty, we'd be honored to have that car in our lot.

[projektzwo]

Mike, I hope you don't mind but I don't know how many people realise how crazy the interior is...

Awesome job! I really love seeing the progression and evolution of this car. I remember when you first posted it up on mye28.com when it had the Borbet's and it was very clean and simple, and then once you rusted the hood I remember seeing soooo much controversy on that thread, it was crazy. But seeing the evolution of it via the internet and then seeing the car in person at FixxFest was definitely one of the coolest things ever. I really hope you can make it down to Simply Clean 2 so I get the opportunity to see it again in its completely changed look! Keep it up Mike!!
