Ready for the new maiden voyage. I went full firm on the rear shocks and the car rides much better than I remember. Anxious to see how it does on the 45 min drive to work.

Would you consider this "complete" now? Any further plans?

It will be when the tune is done and when the rear seat is upholstered. There really isn't much else I could do other than a blower etc. But I kind of feel done with the car at this point. I don't see any need to spend any more money to get more power. It's already fast and I would probably just get myself in trouble.

I am having trouble figuring out how to post youtube videos on this site. I have no clue how I did the one the other day but now can't figure it out. At any rate, my youtube UN is RVAE34.

I have some exciting news that I am allowed to share with you all. As many of you know, I posted a quick cell video on IG of me starting and revving my car with a walk around. That video went viral on FB (which I am not on) and the senior features editor of Motor Trend posted this (pic below) on his FB. I emailed Motor Trend just to thank him for the recognition and he emailed me right back. He wants to do an episode of "Ignition" on my car!!! So in October, they are transporting my car to Road Atlanta so pro driver Randy Pobst AKA "The Rocket" can run it around a back road and the track. They are also going to fly me down there and back, put on a new set of tires for the track and then put a brand new set of whatever tires I want on the car before they transport it back!!! How amazing!!?? All from a stupid cell video that happened to go viral..

Awesome new indeed and well deserved recognition. The quality of the build alone is top notch and the uniqueness of the build adds some "bad ***" value to it as well. Cant wait to see her on the track.
