Thanks for the kind comments. As a retired Marine Jet pilot I certainly like my speed and handling and this is it. I took one of my sons for a ride today and after the first acceleration run and through the S turns, he would place his head firmly in the seat knowing what was next. As for selling it, I believe almost everything is for sale, and if it sells I think I have one more build left in me,, just not sure what it would be. No hurry to sell but …. Cheers

Your car is a great model of inspiration for the build I am working on.
I love the front look and the wide rear flares. Both of them are in my plan.
Thanks for the nudge to get back to work.

It has been a while but I have been focused elsewhere as my Son LtCol Kevin Herrmann was killed on 6 Dec in the C-130 F-18 Mishap over the sea of Japan. Anyhow it was 10 degrees here on Monday and the car had been sitting for three weeks so I needed to get it moving. Of course it started right up, thank God for fuel injection. Just drove around the block a few times with the top speed of 30mph as the tires should not be out in this cold . It was good to get in it and the heater worked just fine.

My deepest sympathies go out to you, your wife and family. My son is 24. My daughter is 21. I cannot fathom the hurt you are going through. Obviously you raised a fine young man. We are thankful for his service to our nation.
