Thanks everyone! Im just grateful the customer let us put our twist on it. Bob and his wife were at Goodguys this weekend and are extremely anxious to take delivery. We put 300 miles on it driving back and forth to Pleasanton all weekend and besides a pesky tuning issue just off idle we need to sort out, it is a pleasure to drive. It handles much better than you would visualize a car of this size doing and if the owner gives the Ok, I'll run it in the autocross at the fall get together!
meanwhile a pic from the weekend.......

Crazy what you guys have put into this. Its soo understated that most wouldnt slow down to really appreciate it. I know I wouldnt. Just a nod in passing to a beautifully preserved/restored classic. This just might be one of those cases where you can be too good at what you do. I've enjoyed the build. Great Job!

One of my favorite cars style-wise. This is a classic example of work so good that many people won't even realize what's been done.

Awesome work!

Really nice build. I was there Friday and didn't see it, BUT I did see Tenacity, which was AMAZING!!!!!! No one was around to talk to though.

Thanks guys I did notice alot of people just walk on by or give it a quick checkout and move on, not knowing the details. I was almost disappointed then it dawned on me, Hey, that was our goal!
The people that we did show the mods that were performed seemed to really appreciate it though. I had fun breaking the news to Gary Meadors and Sam Foose!

Hey Steve,

You guys did an amazing job on the Riv. The amount of time and attention you put into the LS3 engine really shows. I can’t wait to see the car in person, and maybe get a chance to ride around on the autocross
Thanks again for working with me, and for choosing the Roadster Shop Fast Track.

Bryan
