Having a group to do that with is pretty awesome. I have a few car guys around me that are into these detailed builds, but nothing like the groups you are finding. Unfortunately the car scene around here kinda sucks. Gonna make my car REALLY stand out lol

Very stable. I've hit 120 a few times on this super sweet section of the freeway not to far from my house. The only difference I could tell was the roughness of the road. No floating that I noticed. I won't be doing it again though.

You have no idea how much attention the car gets because of your work. It's silly. Posters will be in the mail once things calm down.

Won't be doing it again, but i will say that it's nice to know everything is solid enough to go 132. Keep in mind, this is the first engine I've ever built. I had a great teacher watching me like a hawk though. Jeff is really to blame... or I mean give credit to.

Start a group! Seems like a lot of people are looking for more than just a show and shine to attend. It's a all about the ride.

Tried to get out and take advantage of the empty streets. Depressing to see how many barricades have gone up and how dark the strip is. Really weird to drive by and see the major casinos with little to no lights on. I was kind of surprised at how dark some sections of the strip really are. Social Distancing is here for the foreseeable future. Going to be an interesting summer.







Thanks for looking!

Great shots, Curtis! Atlanta traffic is so light now. It's weird. I need to get out in the early morning and take advantage of it, too. Enjoy the drive!

Seeing the Vegas strip that deserted would almost be picturesque in and of itself. I was out there a total of 10 days last month..once for the wife’s medical convention and once for CONEXPO for my job. Pretty sure I took 10 years off my life but I managed to dodge the sickness both times, however, on her trip, a bunch of people we knew got ill within a few days of being home and CONEXPO was right before they shut things down.

Thanks Jack. Hopefully you have some cool pics to post. Kinda like therapy in a way.

I've been out at what should be the peak of rush hour traffic and the roads are open. It's one of the pluses I suppose. Won't lie, it's going to suck going back to "the norm".

Vegas takes a lot out of people during a regular visit. Sounds like you got out right before they shut things down. Locals are cruising the strip in their cars for something to do. Wish they would shut it down and pave it while we have the time.

Man that's a NICE shot in motion! Good way to quarantine yourself from everyone. You're motivating me to take my car out of hibernation tomorrow.......50 degrees and a tank full of storage gas that needs to get burned off, maybe that exhaust will help rid this Covid pestilence.
Hope everyone's staying safe.

Looks like a good way to take advantage of the situation we are all in.

I'd love to be doing some back road cruising right now but the only fun car I have running currently is my lifted Jeep... Guess I'll have to stick to off road trails in it for now.

Great pics!!
