It's actually two townhouses , not a big house, but I do agree with you.

When people got rich in the real estate boom they bought a lot of cheap land in middle income neigborhoods and started building duplex townhouses everywhere...

Today was a good day for my green monster and myself. We both got special treatment at a fine establishment by the name of, Orbit Racing

These guys never seize to amaze me how professional and dedicated they are for doing a kick *** job. I got to speak to different people about the work they did to my car. They took all the time to explain and make sure that I understood the work that was done to my car.

Eddie did a great job walking me through all the ins and outs of the job and also gave me plenty of ideas to improve my car. I thought all this was going to cost me an arm & leg and when I saw the invoice, I jumped up and down at the fact that the price was beyond reasonable.

I will continue to bring my cars to this gem of a shop in Florida.

Big THANKS to all the guys at Orbit!


Services done to my creation:
Ride height: F 100
R 127

Corner weights
LF 685
RF 620
LR 1068
RR 1012

Ralph, the car looks great! You've done a great job Congrats!

Now you should get the coolant pipes welded so they won't pop out on the track

Just to give you guys heads up I decided to list this car on cars.com.

The listing didn't allow me to list all parts, upgrades, labor, etc... due to only 1000 characters.

I decided to list the car on a global platform to allow the world to consider this project. Please keep your negative comments to yourself. I'm obviously trying to get close to what I have into the project.

As of now, the listing isn't active, but throughout the day it will.
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...ngId=137603442

I'm open to any discussion pertaining to the sale of this car.

Thanks,
Ralph

What a terrific build, and a great back story too. It's just incredible you did so much of the work by yourself, and it's so fun to see the car in your backyard, on a forklift, etc. Well done!
