I know what you mean. I really want to get this thing together. Got an opportunity to squeeze a few more ponies out of it, so what the hell. It's been more than a year anyway so i guess a few more weeks won't hurt.

Headed down there over the holiday....will snap a few more pics.

Thanks!

No SLEEP or what!

Looks awesome Brent! I see it's in their showroom, hopefully not for sale.

Did you ever figure out the cowl clearance issue and start cutting it away yet?

Have an AWESOME Holiday!

Everything is for sale Jim.....just not this one (unless you're gonna make an offer )

No cutting on the cowl yet....still not sure if I need it yet. You know the rule, measure twice cut once....

So awesome Brent. You're not the only one that can't wait to see that car done. I still can't get over how killer that intake looks atop that engine. That whole engine is a thing of beauty, (and power!)
Good luck!
