Ok will do, but I bet we make it half way to Idaho by then. We would have been there last week but its a long story.
I'm trying! I've been working on the car in the shop 12+ hrs a day, 6-7 days a week but completion is not looking good right now as work has called me in 3 months earlier than planned. Got a few weeks left to work on it then I head out. Hope to see your car before I leave.

Went down to Luft Kraft yesterday and finished up some last odds and ends. The guys did an outstanding job on the car and level of detail is amazing. We went back to the shop early this morning to grab the cars and head to Denver for Cars & Coffee. There were rather larger bear tracks walking across the parking lot from last night yikes and cool!

Very nice!
We got pelted with dime size hail in Limon CO a Thursday night, it shattered the vent on top of my trailer just over my car, lucky no damage just lots of water in the trailer. It looked like a river of ice in the parking lot the next morning

Always liked the #98 MkII car that won Daytona in 66.
Mike,
Probably the same bear that raided the trash bins behind the Edelweiss Restaurant. They had that one on the news last night. BTW, I'll send you a PM on my schedule soon. Awesome look! Can't wait to get both cars on the road together.
Jack,
Limon seems to get some of the most extreme weather in CO so you were lucky to just get dime-size hail there. Safe travels...

Really lovely new colour on your 40. Absolutely great, as good as linden green. Suits the car and era it represents well.
I probably missed it somewhere, but why the 'in Nederland' added to your name when you are obviously not overhere?
Maybe you should bring your car overhere... and enjoy Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, Goodwood...

I wanted to give a quick shout out to Chris Martino at Raceline Digital. They are a site sponsor and provided me some help with some of the graphics on the car. Thank you Chris!

Yes, Raceline also made the large "AVON" stencils I used on P/2264. So Mike, are you going to do the top of the front clip black and add the red color spots? I know that Ken drove a MKII, but they are so close.
I'm still wondering how Ford allowed these cars to race without the "FORD" added to the side stripes?
