In person it looks very good. Its not metal flake in the paint, its crushed glass. Metal flake would be toooooo heavy LMAO.

That car is simply amazing! I can't even fathom building something like that.

Look at poor Casper sitting in the back with no heart

One suggestion for ya, once you get it finished take it somewhere with a good background and have a professional take some high res pics of your car before you go to the drag strip and get it dirty.
Good idea Bill,I planned on doing that.It will never look as good as it will at Autorama again.

By mid summer the wheel wells will be covered with melted rubber.


Yellow is one of those colors that people really like or can't stand.

One of the reasons I picked yellow was I wanted an outrageous color that get's as much attention as the performance of the car get's.

WOW, absolutely gorgeous!

I love how the fuel rails/lines/regulator is setup on the engine, everything is just so organized!

The first time I saw the pics, I was at work in a quiet engineering office.

I said, "What!?" out loud and my coworkers said, "What's the matter?"

Simply amazing man.

I need to get back to work now.
