Thanks Jimmy P. it's going to be a great car.
mmiller, your car will also be great one with that original Ford side oiler. Maybe we can match up our cars at a classic race somewhere.
John, I will be in San Marcos next week starting Wednesday and would love to talk about the Mk IV. I have lots of pictures on the I-Pad we can review of my car and what my vision of the car is.
I will be getting with Dean at RCR Monday and scheduling car pickup. A month ago I was working on Fran to bring the car to San Marcos to show off RCR I think the parking lot full of Cobra and GT40 owners would have been a great venue for Fran and it would have gotten the car to Texas sooner.

Don,
It was nice to meet you. Thanks again for taking the time to give me additional background and history on the Mark IV's and to show me what you have already done, and what your plans are for the car. I really appreciate it.
Very, very impressive.
It's going to be an incredible car. I'm really looking forward to following your build as you post your progress.

Car loaded on Intercity truck yesterday afternoon. Driver tells me he will be at the house Saturday morning. I thought a few pictures were in order just to keep everyone up to date. I guess you know I'm excited!

That is just looking fantastic.
I'm just down the road from you in Katy, so I really must invite myself up there at some point to see it in person. :thumbsup:

Awesome car!
I know you have done your homework, (and then some), but for others, anodize the wheel spinners, blue right, red left, to compliment those great wheels!
It is very interesting to me that the brake cooling ducts on some of the cars came out from the radiator tunnel, behind the radiator, so as to warm the air that would cool the brakes. This was because the Mulsanne straight would require braking so hard as to make the rotors glow, and fracture the rotors from the temperature differential if the cooling air was too cold. Who would think of using warm air to cool the brakes?
Enjoy your build of this great car!

Well she arrived on schedule and it didn't take long to undress her. I will start posting more pictures when I can. Fran and the guys at RCR did a great job and I'm really happy with all the extra stuff. David I included a photo of the spinners, so you can see what I had waiting for her. Fran I think there something missing, drive pins. Dave P. I am having fun. Alan Stout send me a PM and I'll give you directions. David give me a call when you want to visit. Thanks everyone for all the good things said. I have been busy making little things for the car and started fitting some to check if I'm close. What do you think?

I think 'awesome' is such an overused word.
It should be reserved for stuff like that.
