Looks fantastic, Steve.
Although it is still kind of unbelievable.
You're gonna have to drive it over here to prove that she's for real. :D

Congrats

Merlin you already heard it enough :cool:
Your now on my desktop. Send the Forum more pics. Specifically from the left side angled, like the view with the boards under the car (before you removed the boards to take another picture.)

Ok Steve,

For those of us the PNW that did not make it down to Pacific Corvette's to check it out, where are you going to hold your first public display? Am I just going to have to head on out to Issaquah and watch out for low flying objects?

Mike
