It has been many years since I "got bit" at Double Venom Spring Fling II. Five years in the planning and selection. Two and a half years in the building stage. Two and a half months with the painter. Down to a week or so until I get her back and do the reassembly.
Obviously, I have not yet experienced any "open road" recognitions, but my friends never fail to inquire as to the status of the car. When people come to visit, my wife gives me the standard order: "Just five minutes". Yeah,.....right.
My two grown kids are already debating who gets the car someday. Makes me wonder if insisting that they both learn to drive a standard transmission was all that good of an idea. My daughter is already whining that I've already decided to give the car to her brother. Talk about counting chickens.
I've come back to this thread several times to read all of the new additions.
Just got caught up on my reading. I really getting excited about finishing the car and getting out on the road. Literally, a few weeks away. This is what I've been waiting and working for. This will be sooooooooo cool.
