What are you going to do if your wife really does like it and wants to drive it all the time? Drive the red car?

Yeah -- I'm a goat herder so have other stuff to tear the tires off of.



I'm already cooking up my next project to build in the new "shed".


And by the way -- I hope she loves it so much she never let's be drive it. Life would be complete then!

Those front brakes aresweet.

When I saw the drums I was like "I know the look he's going after and it works, but I thought Greg was building this thing to drive..." then they were unveiled...

Should keep the brake pad dust to a minimum as well, nice kit. Car looks great. How much does Gwen know about it? Any at all, total surprise or general idea just waiting on the reveal?

So far I've managed to keep it a total secret - going on almost 2 years now! I just have to keep her away from Charley.

I love the idea of the hidden front rotors. A big show like GNRS is on my bucket list before I croak. It looks awesome!

Wayne -- the thing that's fun about this show is that for most of us -- the weather is usually pretty decent --- It's Los Angeles -- there's tons of stuff to do... Most of us need a car fix come January.

What I do is go to the show FRIDAY while everyone in LA is working.... and then on Saturday I go do shop tours because there's a ton of em around there. Usually end up at the Starbucks on the Pacific Coast Hiway -- in Newport Beach watching the sunset and all the killer cars that use the road.

So for me -- it's more than a car show (which to me are BORING) -- it's a trip with a car show that sets the date to have to be there.
