My GTD has a few less pieces and more Aluminum parts than Buds. Less driver, fuel, 2555 lbs.
Very nice looking car. Congratulations on all the hard work. Keep at it. You will prevail if you just keep doing what the officials say they want. Usually its just a matter of convincing them you are cooperating with and recognizing their authority. A few "thank you for all your help" along the way usually helps.
If you can, keep going back to the same official and address him/her by his first name.
