Tony,
Looks as great as i imagined it would, but wow! (I never use exclamation points)
I thought you were using the yellow/amber euro fogs though.
You two did a bang up job. The wheels look great in motion.

I know you're in the motor break-in period, but how's it running thus far?
I bet it's fast.
How do you like the handling and braking?

Wish i could have seen it in person.
Congratulations my friend.-Matt

Prefer the clear lenses up front. Leaned into it a little bit and has gobs of grunt. The MGW short shifter linked up to the Z06 trans/diff feels superb along with the nice & easy Stage II clutch. Ride quality is already incredible and it has not been fine tuned as of yet. It now sits 5/8"" high in front and 1/2" low outback. Plan is to get the ride height, camber & alignment done before pushing it in the bends. Braking feels very good but I like a high pedal and they need to be bled just a bit more. Up to this point, this car is the most wonderful car I have ever driven and I've driven a lot of very nice cars over the years. A little fine tuning and it will be perfect. Hats off to Dinsdale for this incredible build.

Makes sense that it's high in front and low in back with the motor being lighter and trans-axle being a bit heavier as you have said. It's a great build to have so few 'bugs' to work out at this stage. Great job Dinsdale!

Yeah, YouTube used to block all videos with copyrighted music, but now it only happens in certain other countries.

Wow Tony... just wow!

Must've been a race to the finish, getting all the bits put together for 3rd Coast.

Flip your hood struts!

Congrats on your huge success.

OK, finally received a replacement camera and took a few shots. Still need to adjust the ride height, camber, align, etc. Took her for a spin today, and man is she quick. T
