Hi Al

You and Kay will enjoy the car I am sure.

I am really tired at the moment I have been putting in a huge effort in getting my Pace ready for another drive.

Fuel tank will go in tomorrow and as much stuff as I can get finished.

I have some softer rear springs to fit tomorrow and the fronts should arrive any day now.

The crankshaft should be finished next Wednesday so its all go to re assemble the engine.

Cheers

Brad

P.S. I can't wait to have your car as well as mine at the Queensland Cobra Breakfast some day soon.

HI Brad,

I wonder who will be the first one on the road, our car will be going to the engineers next week, all being well with Craig, then it's off to registration. Took it for a run up and down the road outside the factory last week end, drives like a dream, but I think it needs "BIGGER BRAKES" (inside joke) See you on the road sometime.

Hi Mate

You have to remember when i first ordered my Pace 427 from Craig very little had been done in regard to design and body fitment.

As far as I am aware the Chassis build is taking a little longer than Craig previously thought,

Every day i spend at AP there is new stuff arriving and another 5 sets of suspension arms arrived on Tuesday so things are happening a lot faster now than when i ordered my kit

Cheers

Hi Brad
Thx for your reply so quick, I am recovering from staph so I am up most of the night and I am reading everything, I ordered my pace late 2013 and I am just receiving picks from Craig, how long did Craig take with your build? While I am waiting I am thinking what to add or change, haven't decided on engine yet again thx for the quick reply

Hi Hail 427

Like most things new there are teething issues to get over

I Have no complaints really

Tolerances are tight and so care must be taken when fitting components i.e. suspension a big hammer is not recommended.

Parts were slow initially but this has improved lately with a greater flow.

I ordered my kit about the middle of 2012 and started the build in May 2013 so it will take 12 months to complete i am hoping.

The biggest piece of advice i can give is to think what are you going to do and will tou have to remove it to fit something else remember measuer twice and cut once

Cheers
