Maiden Voyage 2012

[Mike]

Took it down to Colorado Springs early this morning to Spectrum Powderworks for some more fab, paint, and powdercoat. If you are looking for someone who is an artist and shares your attention to detail, call Mark. This is coming from someone who finds fault with everyone and everything.

 

[Jack]

Nice! Like the plate too..

 

[Cliff Beer]

Beautiful Michael, absolutely beautiful. You're not going to sneak up on anybody in your GT40!

 

[Mike]

Thanks guys. You're right about not sneaking up on anyone. Those are straight megaphone She is nasty sounding

 

[Mark Clapp]

Show me the 'phones!

 

[Mike]

And the tailgaters lol

 

[Pat Buckley]

That looks great!

Have fun.

 

[Mike]

Next up is a very retro looking rear diffuser. Depending on how it comes out, they may become available for sale for your SPF Mk !. Need a Mk II to mock up one for that chassis.

 

[Dave Hood]

Looks nice, Michael. Do you feel any difference in handling with the spoiler? Did that come through Dennis?

 

[Mike]

No, but it is a street car that rarely sees north of 100(that I'll admit) ha. I did get the raw spoiler from Dennis. It fits very nicely.

 

[Mike]

How to drive with open 180 degree headers into megaphones at 6am and not get a ticket ha. It's so much louder than it sounds here.

Your car is mesmerizing. And that's coming from a guy who's never owned a car that's any where near red. Very tasteful.

Rich.

I wondered why the devil you were creeping along like Peter Puttsalot...until all of a sudden TWO very good reasons quite literally entered the picture!

I take it you spotted them before you pulled out onto the street?

 

[Mike]

Thanks Rich. I did see them rolling up to the light just as I got the green and started short shifting

I'm running megaphones too. Funny thing is when I see "the Fuzz" I've actually contemplated shutting it down and seeing how far I can coast......:laugh:

 

[Mike]

I have yet to be hassled. I had straight FFRP racing headers on my Ford GT. Not quite as raspy down low but would split your ears full tilt. I've never been hassled with that car or this one. As long as you're not being a jerk with them around town, LEOs don't seem to care around here. I had a couple cops track me down at Cars & Coffee last year and ask me to start it so they could hear it roar. They loved it

 

[Randy V]

Very nice!!! And an Escort as well!
