Great to hear that your posse is ready to ride!

Wow that firewall is clean! The brake master cylinder and wiper motor must be mounted under the dash? Are you using wipers?

It's been a couple of days since I got back from SEMA. I have had plenty of time to reflect on how blessed I am. As most know, I've been working on this car for 20 years. It's been a long road, and there is no way I could have done this without the support and understanding of my wife, Diane, and both my boys James and Joey. For that, THANK YOU! I'm beyond grateful that we were all there together for the debut at SEMA. Something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

To all the members, who some I've become good friends with, and some who I now consider family - THANK YOU as well! Have learned so much from the likes of many members here. I can't thank you enough.

I also want to talk about my experience of SEMA flying under the Mother’s Polish Banner. These people are pure class!! Their hospitality was unmatched! They truly treated all of us like family and made this special occasion more than we could have ever imagined. They did a full paint correct and cermaic coat on the car. The difference was remarkable! Their products and expertise took this car to the next level. Mother's Polish for the win!

It's been a hell of a ride! Feels good to finally be here. Notice I said here.. and not done. [emoji1787] It was done enough for SEMA, but it was not fully done. Still need to install side mirrors, charge the AC, and button up a few loose ends. I also need to get a final tune in it and shake it out. Next year will be great getting it out there and driving it.

The car looks amazing, Brent. Very shiny. Glad you had a good experience and trip to SEMA

Ricochet 01-06-2025 10:38 PM

Took a couple months off after the SEMA thrash. Took the car yesterday and took some pics and videos at our local airport. Here are just a few I thought I would share. Love the color. Pops in the sun and turns a dark merlot in the shade. It's back in the garage for the winter to handle some new car bugs and button up a few things. We'll be ready to roll come Spring time and have some fun. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...65502dd5e9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bf8e9267b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c96df7b997.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b6b66ac960.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5b5f880ff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...52cee54b82.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1c57dc5303.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99475ed209.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...36dbb920d1.jpg

Brent,

What are your thoughts on how it rides and drives?

Ricochet 01-08-2025 11:52 PM

Not bad, for 10 miles, Lol! I may play with the spring rates. It's a little firm, but everything is new, so it might loosen up a little. Still need to get it tuned, aligned and a few others things worked out.
