Your car is looking really good.
It looks like you will be driving it this summer.
Are you going to go with the wheels that are on the car right now?

Cheers
Byron

Congratulations on finishing this car!!
It looks really good and I am sure it runs as good as it looks.
All that painstaking aluminum sheet metal fabrication has paid off.
Do you plan on doing any track time at vintage race events?

Cheers
Byron

Congratulations! This has been such a very cool project from start to end.


Of course it's always suspicious when someone around here says "finished". I hope you enjoy this awesome car just the way it is for awhile, but I'm keen to see future refinements too.

Michael,

Impressive car from any angle!
I've enjoyed following the build, and really, I'm kind of sad that it's done.
Your fabrication skills are a joy to behold.
And I looked forward to every post.
Go have fun and drive the wheels off of it!
You deserve it.

Live like you mean it.
Fred

I'm with Fred - thuroughly enjoyed each new post. Your fab skills are phenominal! Have fun driving it. Some video of your track time might make up for no new construction pics ;)
