If you go back and read -- this was not about the hasty build... which wasn't hasty by the way... It was about all the other people that did NOT have a good experience... and there's quite a few.

You are over reacting Greg. It's like you think the car showed up a month after the first shakedown day with the same issues.

The Good:
The car was a rocket. Engine ran great & fast. Car had great grip & turned like a champ. Brakes worked excellent. The little things worked well except 2.

The bad:
We had a couple oil spray issues. One from a valve cover & one from the dry sump vent. Easy fixes. Our 16 volt battery died & wouldn't take a charge. Obviously an easy fix to replace.

The ugly:
Aside from cleaning some oil off the firewall, having to jump start the car had me frustrated.

We'll fix those two glitches learned from our Shake down & have the car ready go go soon. Here are some photos:

Oh wait. Never mind. It was exactly the same problems but with powder coating added.
