Every great artist has to sign his work Definitely no unused space under that hood. I can't wait to see it finished! Great job!

Im just one of those car hobbist that enjoys restoring old pieces of crap in his little 2 car garage. I love doing this kind of work and I can do just about anything I want to try. But no where the level of this kind of work. I can beat on a old fender for hours and in the it might look ok, but the work I see being done on this car.... its almost like this car is becomeing something more than a very well built car. Its becoming a piece of ART. The artist creating this masterpiece is producing something so visuial that it will release Endorphins racing out of your pituitary gland and you will be forced to study every inch of the car for hours. This car is the Mona Lisa for the car enthusiasts....

Well thats my opinon.....
I know! I can't help myself..

I think you have me confused with somebody that has enough experience to tell you what to adjust I'd just come in with a big grin and start babbling

Killer build! The level of fabrication is unreal.


Are you using ABS? I think Stielow said something in the past about carbon brakes without ABS...that it can lead to spontaneous brake lock-up. :curious:

Their is plans for ABS in the future.. but @ this time we will run it without..

Wilwood has their own formula of carbon ceramic rotors.. they don't have to run carbon cermaic brake pads.. They can run different pads compounds that can provide differnt co-officent of friction.. They have been in testing now for about a year on a 25'000 lbs military H1 or 2..
