So, having posted these I have just got off the phone from Scott @ Patrick Motorsports. He tells me that the color looks better in person, and they are working on finalising it all ASAP. I'm hoping to get a couple of pictures with a entire body perspective in the next day or two.
Hopefully the car will be all assembled by Jan, and I can head over to the US in Feb to take delivery (at least in Phoenix) before I start the process of trying to get it back to Sydney and road registered...

It's back in the shop for assembly
So today I got a couple of pictures of the car after heading back to the shop to get assembled.
 I think the plan is to get suspension and fuel / brake lines etc pre - xmas, however there's only a few days left, and I'm sure that there are other projects which are almost ready to go out the door (And I would want them to be prioritized), so not sure where it will be before the holidays. The color looks awesome, and I can't wait to see this!

The vision is James' execution of my wild desires. Fortunately he has the sense to rein me in from time to time... He's looking forward to a 2012 delivery!

Putting it all back together...
So the New Years brake has been good to my project....
I just got some updated pictures from the guys over at Patrick Motorsports, who have worked really hard to get a lot of work done in the reassembly of this beast.     A lot of work was done in the preparation stage of this to run all these cables and ensure that it all fits first time, without a problem. It would seem that this is enabling a relatively quick reassembly. I'm very excited...
