Great looking build. I love that color! That engine bay is super clean and nicely done.

You should be very proud of your work! Thanks for the inspiration.

Nice job and nice color!

[bwwooster]

"OK- it's never DONE-DONE, but it is DONE!" Got it!

I dig that Aston green and the Coyote makes me jealous!

[LuckyWinner]

i love it

[jayguy]

Absolutely Beautiful!

[chopthebass]

Superb. A nice unique colour.

[skullandbones]

Nice job, Alex!

It's a build that looks understated but there is a lot more to see than meets the eye. Especially, when you raise the bonnet, you should get some interesting reactions. I like it because it reminds me of the many pictures of the racing versions of the C****. Congratulations! WEK.

[WIS89]

Alex-

I looked through your build pictures, and I am really impressed. What a wonderful build, and I really enjoyed all the build pics. I am going to use many of them to monitor my own progress. Although I am not using the Coyote, there's a lot there to emulate.

Congratulations on a stunning build! I love the antique NC plate too. Where in NC are you? Well done again on a fantastic job!

Regards,

Steve

[akpingel]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! 350 miles on it now and things are settling in nicely! However I am still deathly afraid of the gas pedal in 1st and 2nd gear haha.

Steve, I am down in the Charlotte area.

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

Not sure if you check the boards any longer but I'd really like to connect with you. I'm in Mooresville and just got my roadster kit yesterday. Your build is very clean looks very similar to my planned build: Coyote, IRS, Tremec TKO 600. I would love the opportunity if you're still in the Charlotte area to see your car and possibly discuss some of the details of your build. My email is russelljones48@gmail.com if you prefer and my cell is: 917.670.8797 and home is 704.360.9404.

Very nice, another vote for a great color choice! Have to like clean Coyote builds - of course I'm partial. Enjoy.

Alex,

Looks great! A question, the sealing you are using for the hood, I haven't seen that before and it looks great! What, where and how?

thanks!

[GWL]

Very nice. That color really makes the lines and curves stand out. I would not have even thought of that color but I really like it, good for you for stepping out the box.

[clancypm]

[Ernie67]

Many use this for hood and doors; stay with the FFR-supplied stuff for the trunk. My 2 cents.

[dnew]

DaleG thanks for that info. I have looked over both Breeze and **********'s websites and still being schooled.

thanks again!
