Steve....How are you doing ?:lateral: :cheers:

I've never sat still for so long! Just outside Indy. Should be pulling into Columbus tomorrow. :thumbsup:

thats the worst...oh wait no. Staring out of a window with a view that looked same for the last 300 miles while sitting still sucks pretty bad too.

Good luck out there.

Steve,

Glad to hear you are OK. So I have Insomnia thinking, "What am I going to do for more horsepower", and "How am I going to pay for it ?"

Things for you and I to discuss when you get back..:lateral:

Not many people can say they stood on the starting line at Bonneville AND the bricks at Indy in the span of 3 days! That was pretty cool. Overall the trip out wasn't too bad. :cheers:

Oh well yeah rub it in why don't you. LOL. You win.:cheers:

Steve where are the pics!!!! We need interior pictures yesterday, LOL. Good luck at the show :thumbsup:

Car looked great at Columbus, Congrats on top 5 pick.:thumbsup:

Wheres the pics!!!

Congrats on the final 5. I thought the car was as nice and clean looking as any 69 that I've seen. It was definitely the best 69 At the show imho

Muscle rod posted pictures on the open discussion site..:cheers:

Steve, congrats on top 5..it was the best 69 there..

The stance, the engine...Oh my, very nice...:hail:

Looked Awesome Guys! Great Job!

congrats Steve! well deserved...be careful comming home and hope to see you in person at Puyallup Goodguys- Chris

I'm writing this in a hotel room in the middle of Iowa. It's been an extremely busy month leading up to Columbus and I'm finally able to reflect on everything. Ive never been to "the big show", the car was virtually untested with about 4 or 5 miles on it,suspension setup was a wag, and i've never run an autocross before not to mention with someone else's expensive car! To say the least, I was a bit nervous.Well everything went pretty damn good. Although the heat was unbelievable, we were able to cruise the grounds with the AC on and no issues. After an easy first lap in the auto x the car felt very well and reminds me of a new vette the second lap was a moderate run due to I didnt want to push my luck but boy was it tempting! Im extremely happy with the balance and feel of the suspension even with no tweaking yet. The top 5 pick was the icing on the cake and I'm honored at the positive response we got. Congrats to RB on their win as it was well deserved, when i saw that car at SEMA i knew that was the next SMOTY. It was great meeting a lot of you and hope to make the trek there again someday with hopefully different weather conditions! Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

Wow !
 

The car and workmanship was stunning Steve ! I took tons of pictures and drooled over all the great work in design and layout of all the systems and parts. The interior is well executed and looks like a current vette/camaro in materials choices. A couple of us had a lot of fun trying to figure out how you'd get the engine bay sheetmetal out with all those hidden fasteners smoothed and tucked away so nicely. Well done and you should be very proud !

Get some rest and soak up the well deserved kudos !

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Jim

Check those parting lines, gaps, hidden fasteners and color/finish selections - even the rolled edge coming off the firewall into the removable hood hinge cover matched perfect - beautiful Steve !

Jim

No, those are mine. But he was complaining all weekend that I was in the way in all his shots.... Truck guys sure do complain alot...

:P :P :P

Jim

Nice work!!! :thumbsup:

Steve..... The car is outstanding!!! :hail:

Unbelievable Steve, the car turned out amazing. You and your team obviously have what it takes to build a top notch car. Congrats! :hail:

X1000

Jim thanks for posting the detail shots. That's what I like, it's seeing all the detail workmanship that goes into these builds. Sometime I take so many detail shots, I forget to take pics of the actual car, LOL.

Insane....:hail:

Congrates Steve! Awesome job on all the details.. Looking forward to seeing this car in person..

That engine bay and interior (from what I can see)... :hail: It's clean, functional, and exotic! Congrats on the top five award too!

Matt

Steve and EBMC gang Multiple:hail: "S ! Amazing Amazing and inspiring work, thank you!

Thanks everyone! Got back into town last night just in time for dinner! 5400 mile round trip but well worth it. Were going to try and make Goodguys in Puyallup but will be in my hometown Pleasanton for sure. Hope to see you there:thumbsup:

Congrats on the Top 5. Nice car for sure.

We got home early this morning. I did 2200 miles in 62 total hours on the way home. My ankles were swollen last night when I went to bed from sitting so much yesterday. I was so happy to hear it is a dry 108 today when I got home. Not that heat indexed 114 some one said it was over the weekend.

Awesome 35 mph average.
you suck as a truck driver .... AWWWWWee my ankles are swolen. ...............lol

Nice car Steve

That includes sleeping. Or 52 MPH average when not counting sleep. I got 18 hours of sleep in 60 hours.

LMFAO!!!

Now back to your regularly scheduled Thread.

Good to hear you made it back.. I will see you soon..

Congrats on the top 5 car, and the top 10 autocross...:cheers:

I'm actually a little embarrassed on the autocross time, BUT considering a brand new untested car with 5 miles on the clock, newbie autocrosser and not coming even remotly close to pushing the limits, I'm happy.It was fun and I see a shop auto x car in the future!

Steve....

Really expensive customer's car and concrete barriers...Metal fencing...

Newbie and untested car..

You should not be embarrassed. If something would have happened, you would be in trouble and a lot of hard work would be messed up.

The other guys are driving their own cars.:lateral: :cheers:

I plan to Autocross the snot out of my car soon..

No big tracks without a roll bar...I have seen to many high speed wrecks and I need to prepare my car for those..

Pleasanton is coming, and you will see me there. I am getting healthy, and soon i will test your work on my car...:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
