I think this is likely the most complicated and involved car I will ever do. Nothing like reinventing the wheel at every corner. Even filed for 2 Patents on the turn signal system developed on this car!

Great to see it out
It will be getting lots of attention that is for sure

Glad to see that bellhousing I sold you being used.

That thing worked out great! Still curious where it came from! Quicktime has one now but it's upside down.

Nice Gary ! ... come on button it up ! LOL

Ron

Congratulations Gary! Happy to hear.

picture looks great. Glad it rolls!

Looks great Gary!

Super job, Gary! Congratulations!
Now let us hear some AUDIO!!

I will get a vid some time. The only audio I have overmodulates the sound and you really cannot hear it.

It does sound aggressive though. Not sure it would be legal in California!

Yes, without a video it's considered PARKING :-).

Nice looking car BTW.

I do think I need a windshield in before I do any more. That will be after the interior. I am going to keep it out so they have more room to work.

Interior has been pushed back to the beginning of June which really isn't that far away.

I would like to say how well everything did; which it did...but it was short enough I can't really evaluate too much.

The power steering getting in and out of the drive, turning around in the cul-de-sac was fabulous but since I did not really get it out on the open road hard to draw any more then that.

It does have me salivating for a real drive. Soon!

You just need to get that out of your mind and go for it...just imigine the feel of being pulled of your crate from the acceleration as the huricane force wind blows agaisnt your face

Well, with the back window out it does blow through. I do have a motorcycle helmet I can use for a bug shield but....I think that would be a big red flag.

So cool!

The only thing legal in California are "Illegals", just tell the police your Mexican & they'll let you go!

Now the FUN begins...DRIVING!!!...Mark

Sweet Comp.
Very happy for you man. Hellova project. Exciting times....

Made it to a car show this weekend. A little girl about 10 years old came up and asked if it was a Delorean. I said "No, the Delorean is not a performance car. It has a V6 and is more of a parade car."......She said....."Yea, I know, that's why they have a Flux capacitor just so they can get it up to 88mph!"

Funny stuff!

Great to see her out in the sunshine. More pics!!

We'll see. This may be all I post of it for a while. I am going to work on a magazine submission.

She's 10 and she knows about flux? Pretty advanced?

She probably knew more then the boys if she came up with that.
