Thank you for the kind words about #142. Notice I said it drives "differently"...not better!!

Having also seen your car, I can attest to the beautiful attention to detail you have put into it...a gorgeous car. My reference to squeaks applies to MY car...one just has to live with the fact that aluminum sheet wrapped around tubing and secured with pop rivets is going to twist a bit and make some noise! After all, Shelby's first choice when he began building these cars was fiberglass!

As you alluded to, the beauty of this hobby is that we all have different objectives that inspire and drive us, and our cars are a wonderful statement of those objectives. The key is the willingness to share knowledge, experience and most important, HAVE FUN!

Happy Holidays!!

Bud
