Michael,

Car looks great.  You've done an outstanding job putting it together.  That engine looks like it's going to be scary fun to drive.

Must've been really fun to take to a show after getting it "legal".

Got any video of it running?

Thanks Dan.  

I must admit...it is the fastest thing I have ever driven.  Scary fun is definitely the right term!

It was a lot of fun going to the show unfinished.  Just the sound of it idling was enough to get attention.  It hits pretty hard.  I have a couple of videos of it running.  Didn't know where to post it though.

You can post it to something like You Tube and just post the link on this thread. I believe You Tube is free to join and upload videos.

Can't wait to here it..... 8-)

Mike,

 Looks great!  I'm sure it was a blast to drive at the show.  I'm assuming the registration process went smoothly :-).  Feel free to send me the video  cassidyr@charter.net and I'll upload it/host it NP.

 Any idea on when the painters will have it finished?

Cheers,

Looking good Michael!
Soon you'll be waking the neighbors up and learning all the latest swear words !!

Nice job Michael!!!!

She looks great. Sounds like you've been having a little fun with it already. It must be a blast to drive. I'll bet you can't wait to get the paint on it. Post some pics when you do.

Again, you've done a fantastic job and it looks great.

Thanks for all the kind words everybody.  It was a blast this past weekend to drive.  Mike Arps called me crazy when I told him I took it to 90mph Sunday on the highway!    Smooooth as glass!  Of course in hindsight...I DID build this car myself......and I never claimed to be the sharpest pencil in the stack!  
Had to have a little fun before I put it in the paint shop next week!

Ryan,
thanks for the advice.  Registration was a breeze.  When I told a FFR owner at the show his jaw dropped.  He went the other route with inspections, taxes, etc.  I just grinned.
I'll send you my little video clip of it idling.

Thanks so much Ryan for hosting it.  

I just talked to the paint shop and it goes in Monday!!!!  He said 4 weeks.

Ofcourse I don't have a color nailed down yet.  I want to go with a Superformance color silver with ghost stripes a few shades darker or black with charcoal stripes.  Being in the south I am worried about the black making it hotter than will already be in the summer.  But it would look slick!
