Well it's not exactly finished yet.....it's definitely driveable....I've had it out twice for a couple of 100' jaunts....but it looks awfully funny with no windshield, no rollbar, doughnut spares on the rears and wagon wheels/tires on the front.....hehehe.....

I just got the sidepipes yesterday. They sound pretty good. Of course they're not fastened on (unless you count the bungee cords) so when I would fire the engine up it would blow the pipes off.....hehehe.....

The plugs are carboned up from sequential engine firings to test different components of the car...and its developed a very very slight miss in the 2000-3000 rpm range. I pulled the plugs and they're sooty.....so I'm gonna change the plugs, fire it up and make sure it runs good....then shut it down for good until it's finished.

When is the fling this year? I'm getting engaged in July...so we'll see how tight a leash I'll be wearing.
