A bit over 6 years to build, kids finished high school and one finishing college now! But I truly enjoyed every minute of it. A few areas I went off the deep end, but I guess it was all part of the journey ;) On the other hand there have been a few real nice surprises - the really awesome community we have, from the forums to local communities, new friendships that have been formed... I am grateful for all that.

And finally...

That is stunning!!!

[cgundermann]

Very, very cool - I’m a big orange/tangerine fan! Is that a reverse light centered, below the trunk and is that Ford magnetic gray?

Thanks man. Anytime... always down to for a cruise, and take more pictures too :)

Haha, thank you! I am the photographer. Any photographer love the opportunity to shoot a cobra, doubly so in this case :) It was so much fun shooting her.

The yellow is Nissan Solar Yellow EW3
Base color is Maserati Grigio Alfieri WB Metallic

No, I wanted a more neutral grey than magnetic gray. It is Maserati Grigio Alfieri WB Metallic.

Nice nice! Inspiring for those of us just starting the journey.

Yeah, I remember those days! It is a long road but an amazing experience. Take your time and enjoy the build, you will be blown away with what you build :)

[soaringDude]

Thank you everyone 🙏 This was just my test shoot and I got a few good ones. Will definitely be doing a lot more photo trips soon. Now the photographer in me is taking over 😜

And given all the requests, here are a few more from yesterday 😜 And I haven't figured out how to shoot the engine and the interior. So that will take me a bit longer to get that right.
