Congrats. I know it's a nice feeling to finally have it together and have it running the first time! Get some vids up when you can.

LOL. Guess I need to put a 3L on my list of mods or cut back on the beer; I had a weird experience yesterday taking a cloverleaf a little faster than usual... beer belly polar momentum.

Congrats on the first start!

Congratulations D!! It's like a living entity when you first fire one up after all that work.

I love those RUFs in black

Thanks! Your car is what motivated me to buy these wheels! Which BTW, if you ever have the desire to sell your set, please let me know, I would like to have a set in silver with the machined lip

I sincerely hope now that your dream has come true, you don't end up selling this car after a month or two like some guys, only to move onto some other damn project!




Unless of course you wanted to sell it to me....

Actually I'm not allowed to sell it. My wife really likes the car and knows how much money/effort I have put into it to get it where it is now. If I sold it, I'd also be getting a divorce.
