Yeah Tony!!! That last minute color change was a good one. I like it. Really pops on the compound curves of the front and rear bumpers. It's going to look great on those big A$$ flairs.

You'll get there ... don't worry. Just follow the advise I was given about 6 mos ago... I had someone tell me... Just do one thing at least a day, or every couple of days... turn a bolt, fix something, wire up something or install something. then before you know it, you'll look up... and it's time to drive it. that's what happened to me.

The other good advise... do all the things you need to do to make it drive, then finish the rest as you drive it. That is certainly good advise.

I can tell you my car is the exact manifestation of the best imagination I could come up with!! it's a thrill to drive the once ugly behemoth that looked to be so far away from reality. I am truly facinated by the fact that I could assemble such a thing as this 911. It's really an amazing, amazing feat of engineering.

Wish you could really hear this engine sing. it sounds incredible.

You'll get there. NO DOUBT! -- but remember to enjoy EVERY inch and moment of the journey and sock all those memories away... cause that is more than half the fun.

We know - having done this roughly the same, how fantastic and memorable it really is to build a car of this quality basically with our bare hands. It's awesome!

Be encouraged! You're getting closer every day. Never give up... and be paitent, Any thing this cool takes a good deal of time to create. You're looking super cool. I love that blue!!!

Nice job! What do you have in mind for the driveline? How about oil cooling?

Maybe I missed those updates?
