I want to thank everyone for the congratulations! The kind words mean a lot and are really appreciated.

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but I'm up at 3:00 AM to go to work, home at 6:00 PM and in the shop till whenever every night.

I have some more pics resized and will get them up when I can, along with some shots of the finished car. Still have a few trim pieces to add, along with the windshield and mufflers. I might even get the cruise control in, but that's considered "nonessential".

I'm off Monday and hope to do a good long shakedown run then. So far everything appears to be OK, but then I haven't gotten it over 35 MPH or out of 2nd gear. The trans cable needs to be adjusted for sure. The punch list is getting shorter though!

With the time changing this weekend, I should have some drive time after I get home from work this week. I want to get as much seat time (doing something besides going "vroom,vroom") in as I can before I hit the road to the first show.

Don - I think Dave has a great idea. Where can I find one of those scantily clad young ladies for a photo op? Or maybe Scooter can spare on of the three in his avatar!!!

JR - I'm just thankful I still have some hair to blow in the wind!!
