Feel free to go any time if you want to foot the bill.
I'll let them know it's ok to release into your hands.

On a more serious note... it still needs plumbing, dash installed, and a dyno run from Paradise before heading home.

Jeff, soon you will feel that way too!

The car looks great Greg! Go ahead and put down for that one in your WILL too. That's 3 cars and the IDA collection right?

They "lowered" the seat for me today. Not sure what that means, but Auggie told me it was pretty close to the wheel and knew I was a "big guy" so they wanted to fit it better.







While it was out They got a few better pics of the inside as well.





Waiting on their glass guy and then it's back to Paradise.

In the final stretch...













It's going back to Paradise Wednesday for the freshly painted dash to go back in, breather box install, plumbing and then a dyno run.

MAYbe I'll have it back in my shop soon for the final details.

That looks complicated. All I know is 167 hp to the ground is between 196 and 208 hp at the flywheel depending on how you do the math (15% or 20% loss)

Not bad.

Kris says it's going to be a fun ride.
