Wait till it's done and you are cruising..you will have to reserve time for Q&A sessions, I know first-hand. How did the wiring go?

On the hour drive home I was just cruising along in the right lane and I noticed in my side view mirror not 1, not 2, but 3 different guys hanging their phones out their windows taking pictures of the rear of the car. Then the big thumbs up as they passed.

I was really quite surprised at the whole thing.
I have been following this build since day one and all I can say is WOW one fantastic job ! :) My question is how many feet will the rear tires last ? LOL You are a artist and I hope you post a video
at track time :)

I have tried to document every little part of this build. In some cases I think I have posted trivial things that bore you guys. Never the less, I will continue to document the build.

As far as a video of the car running, Oh, I got big plans for that. I hope it will be spectacular........"

Boring ? No way. The real gearheads (I'm one) that follow this thread like to see every little detail and update.

As far as videos. I'm hoping for a Nascar style winners burnout video!!!
Maybe after the project is complete and all the shakedowns are done. Throw on a set of old rubber and smoke 'em down !
Would make for a great video or even some pictures.

Surely you jest! There has never been a dull moment. Except for those times when You haven't posted something and you left us hungry for more.

Ditto - what they said - heck I'd drool over the documentation on how you cleaned a window.
