Thanks, and feeling a little better today. Enough that I got in the garage a bit this afternoon to try to sort some issues.

Fuel pressure seems to steadily decline, but Carl has been excellent and we're working together trouble shooting it.

Had an issue just now with the push button start. Tried to engage the starter when I was trying to shut it down!!! Not good, and was a pain to get it to finally shut down. Wasn't too thrilled with that...

Called them and they said it sounds like it needs to learn tach again, I have been messing with the idle RPM so it very well could be the issue. I'll give it a shot and see if re-programming it stops it (i sure hope it does).

Ok I thought I was crazy at around $80K, what do you estimate this completed build will cost?

Significantly more than that...

This is a project where things snowballed in a big way. I haven't put numbers to paper lately for a total and not sure I want to. Last time I did, i was probably double that already...

No joke. I got a friend to do it after he commented on only having a certain amount in the car he figured. It sounded very low so I said "add it up." Ended up being 30-40% more than he had anticipated.

I think the best advice I can share that I've learned is if you have 60k to build a car, plan to spend 30-40k and you MIGHT finish it before running out of cash.

Looks great on the drive!

I predict a ride height adjustment in your future tho. How much clearance do you have on the inside of the wheel?

I would say that's pretty much it . I never in a million years thought I would spend that much on a automobile .
