The stripes are like the Cherry on top of the Sunday!
I like the license plate too.. It needs a license plate frame that say's DEEP on top!
That's exactly the plan!!!
LOL
Nice work Ron - I hope the stripe setup worked out OK, let me know your thoughts.

Ron-- Great job!!! Your car just keeps getting better and better. I agree with everyone else the stripes really set the car off. It's a beautiful looking car but I have to say that pantera in the background doesn't look so bad either. Thanks for all the pictures they have been a help to all of us.

Ron,
At the risk of sounding just like everybody else, great job. But let me kick it up a notch.
When looking at your thread this week, my wife wandered into the office just about the time your latest pics came onto the screen. Donna, normally a very articulate woman, simply uttered "Whoa," followed by "Is our car going to look that good?"
You nailed it, man. Even the chicks are stopping in their tracks!
Best,
T.

Kit Car Builder Magazine just did a full "cover shoot" of my car at Carlisle!!!!!
The editor of KitCar Magazine also showed lots of interest in doing a feature!!!

Ron, I think I saw a spot of dust on it. Needs a fast drive, to clean it off.
You've really set the benchmark for builds with this. What are you going to nickname it? All cars with character have names.

Ron,
Congratulations..... It is good to see someone who did the build, get some rewards. Very clean build. Something we builders can all shoot for(or wish for).

Thanks again for the great comments!!
I had the car at Pocono Raceway last weekend for a open track event. All I can say is "what a blast!!!!" The car handled the,very fast , track like a champ!!! I took it pretty easy the first day(it was a bit crowded) but the second day I gave it a bit of hell! The brakes worked flawlessly.The ,remote-mount electric water pump,cooling system also performed above my expectations.After 20-30 mins on the track the water temp was 180deg and the oil temp was 230deg.That is without a seperate oil cooler or the aux. fan turned on! The handling of the car was also very assuring.On the long back straight at Pocono,I hit 7500 rpm in 4th gear several times and even shifted into 5th for a second or so once.At that speed the car is incredibly stable!!! The only system that I wasn't totally happy with is the fuel system.It looks like I will have to go back to the drawing board on that one!
The only real problems all weekend were the seal on the cable shift mechanism failed and began to leak and I had a wire come loose under the dash for the gauges.The only other issue was that the friend that went with me exploded the clutch in his Ford GT and had to use my trailer to tow his car home .
The comments I got were all VERY positive and my friend ,who ownes chassis #1137,was very impressed with the engineering that went into the car.
I would really like to thank Fran Hall for making such an incredible package!!!!! I hope to get more track time on the car this summer .
