We will be there.... my wife will also be autocrossing with the car in the same manner as James Dean did years ago (approximately 59 years ago, it's the 60 year anniversary of the speedster this year by the way). After that we will go on a James Dean memorial run.

Thrilled to see you so happy, Ben -- finish line in sight, don't quit!

After fun exchanges with Ben yesterday when he arrived on the west coast with his wife, he asked me to post pics.
What you don't see are the ones of his bride with unmistakable joy & surprise on her face. What a beautiful gift

Ben-- Awoke to see last night's texts: I'll call from the road in a few.
Enjoy everything you've accomplished; AMAZING what you've done on a compressed schedule while on the east coast

I look forward to seeing it in person this weekend. Ben, did you reserve a spot at the concours d'elegance to show the 'new' speedster off?

Ben: Looks GREAT! Nice choices all around. Let's hope this beauty helps to dispel negative posts about Todd. He has always been a standup guy in my many dealings with him. Amazing time frame for completion. Congrats again, and enjoy.

That is really cool. One suggestion, since you did such a great job with the black and white you should do your wheel and hood crests in black and white by the vender on the site that hand paints them. I think it would look sweet...and the interior one in your console. Look forward to seeing it this week as we head up in the am.
