Thank you.
Yeah I'm glad but now I have to tune the front and rear suspension a bit, fix the horn, roll the rear fenders slightly, and tune the engine after 500miles to run leaner. The car is a blast to drive. The guys at Gearhead Garage did a great job with the car. I was expecting more little issues, but nothing has come up yet.

Was there ever a clear understanding on what went wrong when the rear wheel came off ? Car looks killer.

Hey Charlie. The only thing that Moser, the shop and I could come up with was that the brake brackets were not counter bored for this new style rear-end. We think what happened was that there was too much friction with the bearing and it over heated and exploded in the housing. The other side was looking as if that was going to happen there as well. Moser took care of that problem, and Freddie Byers rebuilt the rear end for me. It seems fine now.

It works ok. I say only ok because you cannot fill it up past 7/8's. No fuel comes out on hard acceleration. It has a fuel door in the neck.
