Truly there is nothing in this car that isn't custom made. I am glad that those that have seen it are impressed and that Fitz is happy about the quality of the work being done. Admittedly it is taking longer than I anticipated. This is mostly due to calling suppliers asking for specific parts and getting the "you want a what?" over the phone and having to make things from scratch.
Fitz did give us very narrow parameters to work with. Being that is it a Roadster means there is limited space, in other words, 25 lbs of s&^* in a 5lb bag
. Here is a short list.
600/600 BB- verified on dyno- Must run on pump gas and fit under the hood- every day drivability
A/C-Heat- must clear firewall with no dash mods
Stereo- High end audio, 600 watts and sounds fabulious
GPS- recently added to the list
Street car that will handle at open tracks and be reliable
Able to hook up the power
Biiiig brakes
Chassis has to be safe and has to handle the power comfortably.
Hard Top
I know we have accomplished everything set forth. It has taken a lot of work and we are now on the down side of finishing. The custom headers and sidepipes will be finished this week and the final assy work won't take very long. It is a real beast, I look forward to driving it.
