Well Mikey, maybe when you come up for Deuce Days next year we can take a spin.

Mark, you're right, it does take some effort. When I started the car I pretty much had all of what's seen in my mind. There were certain pieces of hardware and design themes that were fixed from the get go, and a couple that morphed along the way as necessity dictated. I've alluded to a few throughout this thread. The wheels were the first design element, and because of their specifications dictated some of the chassis specs/parts. Others were a matter of knowing what I wanted in the end and just figuring out how to make them work. It helped too to have good sublets; the exhaust for example. The guy who did the bending and routing was a consummate pro who listened to what I wanted, made a couple suggestions of his own based on experience, and then just made it happen. Likewise the decision to ceramic coat the entire system. Most might see it as overkill, and I suppose it is, but it will look just as nice years down the road as it does today. Some might argue reasonably that a full stainless system would have accomplished the same outcome, but for whatever reason I just thought this was the thing to do. As it was with so many of the other choices made. These are custom designed/built cars, why not play with goofy ideas we have?
