Default Light at the end of tunnel getting brighter.

Finally after a year and a half I was able to take my car for a quick test spin. Now working out a few kinks. I still need to paint the car. After all the suspension mods etc, i wanted to thrash the car around awhile and not fear any road chips etc.

That is one sweet car. I see a lot the good stuff throughout. I also read your post about Paul at Hydratech and how well the brakes work.

Congrats on getting to drive it.

Any more pictures?

Looking good, man!! What's the support bar going between the fenders, like a strut-tower brace?

thanks for the kind words guys. Its finally coming together, but a few more kinks to work out.

I fabricated a bar and tied it into the fender support braces. I don't know how much it helps with stiffness, but I figured it couldn't hurt and I also thought it looked cool, plus it didnt take long to do.

I have more pics, however they are a higher resolution. I didnt think I was going to get these pics small enough. I will take some more and send to Scott. BTW Scott, I know we had spoke before about weighing our cars. I plan to scale it very soon (hopefully in the next 2 weeks.) I am curious on much difference on front to rear weight and also want to know the cross-weight as well. Once I do scale it, I will post the figures with/without driver.

Thanks again guys. Reading posts on this site and seeing all the awesome cars on this site, has continued to give me the motivation necessary to continue.
