Tony mentioned that he sold it but I didn't realize you bought it. I'm bummed that the car won't make it to Camp 928 but it's great to see it in good hands. Make a video!

Incredible amount of thought, time and money has gone into this and it's beautiful as well as tasteful. Copperhead is the correct name, Good on ya!

Brian, Congrats on getting the car, and then finishing up what was left. Copperhead is just amazing in many ways.

Well finally she is out an about, its really a beautiful car in the sun,
Copperhead sounds like the right call .

I flew down to JAX a few times to work with Carl on putting this machine together,
the amount of things that have been modified and updated is beyond belief.

I did get a chance to drive it and its really fast and the 6 speed trans make all the right kind of noises going through the gears.

The sound system is too loud for my ears, can you say rock concert loud and easily drives my ears to ringing state.

That said the color and the interior and the electronic upgrades are all top tier thats how "T" rolls
\ Brian thanks for doing the necessary work to get this machine back into service

Thanks everyone! It has been a good experience so far. I learned a lot more about electronics/wiring both stock and aftermarket that I really wanted to!

I will get some more pics and make a couple of videos also. Thinking of throwing it on BAT just to see what it might do.

There's some good shots of Peachy in my 2013 Marble Falls video, starting at about 1:20.

Thanks for sharing, Don! That was the one year out of the past 10 that I haven’t gone to 3rd coast. I was bummed I didn’t get to see the car or ride in it. Funny how things work out. I can drive it all I want now!

I hope you have better luck with BAT than I did trying to sell my 928. They didn't seem at all interested in a modified 928.
