Congratulations, I remember that day. Now begins the fun of putting it together, then taking it apart only to put it back together then second guessing yourself only to take it apart and put it back together the way you had it the first time. Good luck and enjoy the ride. Just remember it’s a marathon and not a 40 yard dash.

Holy cow that was fast. I think it took Stewart 3-4 days from when they picked it up. They had a full load though and multiple deliveries.
Exciting stuff. Spot on with doing something and redoing it.

Looks nice, Larry.  You are moving very fast now.  Where do you plan to get your drive shaft made?

There is a place up on US 380 on the way to Princeton.   He did the driveshaft for my F100, and it was really good quality,  qnd reasonable.

Sorry I must have missed it, but I’m guessing the car came partially built?

My car was originally scheduled to be hm 2041.  2038 was q car someone ordered with a stage one chassis then ghosted, disappeared.   At the last minute Alec offered me a deal on it.

You're moving right along already, that's great.
What are your plans for the cockpit tub? Firewall aluminum? Any heat/sound insulation?

I have some aluminum pieces that frankly am not sure where they go.  I ordered a heaterbfrom shell valley,  and plan extensive heat insulation

I went through the same regarding the aluminum.  There are mine notated by Greg.  If you still have questions, just post pics and we will figure it out.
