Not done of course, still in gelcoat and the ride height needs some tweaking. Almost nothing showed up on the shake down cruise. I guess progress will slow down now since everything done needs a "test drive" :)....

Good on ya' :)

Jump in it and drive on up to Columbus, Ohio for the LCS this weekend! Bring Al with you. Think nothing of the box of Mason jars he'll stash in the trunk.

Cheers,
Jeff

I might make it but it would be in my Fiat truck, more room for Al's Mason jars....

Cool carbon fiber skills! I assume by your site name that you work with CF often? I've found a place that makes CF valve covers, but I've always thought an oval "Cobra" air cleaner made of CF with stainless steel COBRA letters would be wicked cool.

Guilty as charged, I make parts for those aluminum tubes that fly overhead.
That could be done. I'm going to do a set of Carbon side louvers when I get around to it. Now that I can drive it getting stuff done is a another story.

Thanks Jeff.
I might not be bold enough to take off to London with a car under 100 miles of shake down cruise. I might show up in my old red Fiat truck....

Here's a link to the place that has the CF valve covers.

I have a CF dash, doors, shift knob, spats, and license plate frame made of real CF. I've always thought some CF elements under the hood would be awesome. If you're serious about the oval air cleaner, let me know and we can discuss offline.
