Kevin, I have to see your car in a couple of weeks when I come back to Bowling Green, if you don't care I would like to do a photo shoot on your car if you don't care and we can work out a time during the C4 bash if the car is done??

Sounds good, the car for sure won't be "polished" by then, might not even be running, we'll see.

But you can take all the photos you want!!!!!!

Well you know I am close so when ever it is finished and all ready to go I will make a run up there for the photo shoot. What ever will work best for you, It is looking real good. You have given me a couple of ideas to add to my roll bar in my car.

As you can see we are getting really close, I would think by the end of this month they should be done with their stuff, then there is a lot of wiring to do!!!!!

So I think by late June this thing will be on the strip!!!

I think so, I can't wait to hit the street/strip with it. BTW lemme know next time you are in BG, especially if you hit the strip.

Awesome. I was wondering how it was coming along.

Thanx for the updates!

In the "immortal" words of Peter Griffin: "Friggin' SWEET!"
Awesome looking C4 you have there. I will be following the rest of your build, as I just came across this post. I am getting ready for a minor makeover, compared to what you are doing. My plans are similar to yours, as I want to drive my C4 to the track and back...without breaking parts. I am going with one of Jesse's 12 bolt rears, as I didn't want to back-half the car (need that money for the motor ). Keep the updates coming!
