...a jack is never far away! biggrin.gif

PS: Its only fitting (being a teener) that a trash can and broom loom in the background. Under-appreciated, humble and hard working - that epitomizes the 9-1-4!

Great color! And Nice mirrors! I've seen similar on Amazon/eBay, I've been looking to add those to mine......did they fit with original holes? Or is there minor surgery required?
Thanks!

Wow, that looks nice. If it's half as fast as it looks, I would use up all the points on my drivers license in about a week if it were mine!

What a stunner. Probably gets tickets standing still.

I have garage envy as well !! biggrin.gif
Cracker
Well, I do too! It is not mine though...

Back story: I was at Road Atlanta this last weekend (TCollins was there too - nice hanging with you Tommy!) and my car needed "professional attention" - when I came to check on the progress, the pic you see is how I found the car. I had to take a picture. That is a pro-racing shop - their driver was Randy Pobst...

PS: The weekend was a total bust - cut a tire down after the raising the spindles and not having the front end set correctly - long sad story but there are always other weekends. I did not crash; had a wonderful time with friends (and new ones too!); my student made huge strides - all is good! beerchug.gif

I got to see this amazing car and meet Tony this past weekend at Road Atlanta Chin Track Days and as nice as this picture is, it still just doesn't do the car justice.
Tony, I bet our gang made a lasting impression lol-2.gif

Beautiful car Tony.

Sharp as a razor.

Thanks fella's...I have to add that the ridiculous "roof scope" we fabbed up is being removed. I am installing a large water-to-oil heat exchanger over the next couple weeks and that ugly thing (and huge aero-drag parachute) will be gone for good!

Sorry to hear about the technical issues. But I have to say, you should make that pic into a poster. Your car looks great!

I just clicked on this....oh my god I wished I had considerd a blue like that...holy hell...beautiful!!!

Chris - I took your suggestion...I was picking up some building plans today from local print shop and ordered a couple posters on board too. Thanks...your an "expensive" friend - LOL!

For anyone who saw it (and that includes everyone!) - I run two sets of wheels at the track and sometimes the tires get the wheels out of sequence. It is what it is...

Tony, I would love to see more detailed photos of your car. Is there a build thread or a site where I can visit to see and read more about the car. I am especially interested in the front hood, as I am planing a V8 with AC in Phoenix AZ. I will need all the cooling possible.

Thanks, Gregg S
