@burton73 Nice car! I love the look of the Fuchs w/no center caps. Subtle, racy "declaration of intent" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I was just going over this with Mark S an hour ago. He says he want caps. That is easy enough. The wheels are good copies of, on front Deep 6s x 15 and rears 7r’s. That really is kind of a deep 7. Going with a 4.5 spare with a tire from a Spacesaver from a MB SLK
Mark is planning on driving this blue boy back from PMB in UT to Hermosa Beach CA after the 350 mile shakedown near PMB, then Vale Adjustment and oil change.

Word on the Blue Boy or what we are calling this car. From Mark Sonners, Eric took blue boy home over weekend put 100 miles on. Says runs and handles super, pulls very strong and sounds sweet. Back at shop for some adjustments the extended break-in this coming weekend I’ll be good to go check it middle of next week

Insert picture of The Blue Boy (c. 1770) is a full-length portrait in oil by Thomas Gainsborough, owned by The Huntington in San Marino, California.

History
One of Gainsborough's best known works, The Blue Boy was long thought to be a portrait of Jonathan Buttall (1752–1805), the son of a wealthy hardware merchant, because of his early ownership of the painting. This identification has never been proven and as Susan Sloman argued in 2013, the likely sitter is Gainsborough's nephew, Gainsborough Dupont (1754–1797)

First saw this painting back in Elementary school trip with Pinky course.

Also had to play the Blue Boy by John Fogerty

Posting for Mark Sonners. This blue boy is basically finished up, Mark is going to fly out do some test drive out there in Salt Lake City area them bring him back home.
I'm personally really happy to see this car finished. I envisioned this as a 400HP Corvette V8 with 930 turbo Carrera transmission 15 years ago but life had different plans.

Buds for 60 years.

Mark Sonners review of the build of his 2270 after the drive over 2 days from Salt Lake City Utah (At PMB Performance to Hermosa Beach CA) –

Text to me from Mark:---
Purring like a kitten 120 miles out at lower elevation like Eric said it would running cool cruising 80-100 23miles/g.

340 miles today very hot most of the way Cajon pass was bad but no heating issues . The car has zero twitch at any speed all bumps are absorbed by suspension the body stays really stable probably better than the targa. The steering is really fast reacts instantly to any input

Blue ran cool here next to pool 108 here

Yes total and reset trip total. Gets
Data thru blue tooth connection to a sender on the tranny

Yeah early start so I can get some snaps in. Car really smooth precise tracking at 100 no bobbing or weaving reacts instantly to inputs could be smoother at high speed than Red Targa 911


Well this bad boy is done for the moment. Really happy that it turned out so well.

Best Bob B Marks best bud for 60 years. We are like brothers
