There is a whole story on how they built it.. did you see that or are just wishing it was longer??

Sorta like a "build a book" deal...

I read it, i was really impressed... but i guess for me i like to see more "how-tos".. kinda like your "build a book" deal. Longer... not so much longer as in depth how to... i got the piece of milling the firewall, that was really cool to see. I'm not that great of a learner from reading stuff, i learn better by pictures and thorough examples.

I really liked the suspension piece, except the part where he says that "urethane bushings go along way towards rectifying this trait," refering to snap oversteer in converging like 4-links. Just a goof I am sure, but it's glaring! Then again, I sure have made my fair share of goofs!

Shiny side Up!

It's just a no brainer.. we cover cars with an emphisis on pro-touring.. you guys build pro-touring cars..

It's a symbiotic relationship.. lol..

What's nice is that the cars here go from the low buck to the big buck so there is something for everyone.

A got mine 2 days ago and just about had a heart attack when I saw it on the kitchen counter. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Steve musta been kickin' down some doors over there with those big ole sh*t-kickin' boots of his (don't deny it Steve, big ole size 12 Timberlands from what I hear). He heard our cries about late deliveries last month and he marched down to shipping and flipped the script on those hacks.

Nice job Rupp. That's how ya git er done!
