Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

CWay, here are some shots I took as I was working on the interior today (running wires for the data logger, roll bar padding, etc). I also slapped a FL tag on the car and took it out for a run this morning (read: woke up the neighbors). The car is very loud inside, but quite wonderful. The instant I hit the first main road, Mr. Florida Highway Patrol pulls in right behind me - I'm thinking this is NOT going to be good. I just went ahead and pulled over in the next parking lot. He pulls up beside me and starts chatting about 911's. He happenned to have one and tracks it quite a bit. WHEW! We spent quite a while talking, which was much nicer than getting stroked for god knows how many violations.

Its amazing how Riviera Blue changes in hue from dark to shade. Very glad this was my color choice for the project. I'm DONE!

Thanks Matt, and others. Matt call me anytime.

Paul- The black wheels are in the garage. I just havent put them on yet. Since I knew I was going to take it out for a drive today I left the old rims on with the "beat up" tires...not really wanting to pick up any debris on a new set of Michelin slicks.

The final weight was, without driver, less than a 1/4 tank of fuel: 2534 pounds.
