Thanks. Mark and I both love the work that Matt does. Mark is so comfortable using Matt. He trusts his work completely and has told me so more than once. During the build Matt asked me if he should do a basic floor or could he have fun. I said to have fun. The floor was killer to see as he “had fun”.. exceptional talent that cares about his work. I’m getting really excited. I haven’t seen it since it was stock.

It’s worthy of a proper gap and paint. Please consider that down the road...

Car is awesome Charlie! Was great fun getting it dialed in. You might want to invest in some spare rear tires sooner rather than later as well.... anything below ~60-70 seems to overtax them easily.

Roof is about 49” off the ground and we have 5” ground clearance.
