Well, you seem to have a somewhat positive attitude about the whole thing, so at least they haven't killed your spirit (yet).
Hopefully, you'll be on the road soon and it will take the sting of job hunting off your mind and you can enjoy the driving season.
The more I hear these stories about the Shelby cars (yours isn't the first), the more I appreciate and would spend my money, if I had any, on a Kirkham. Hopefully, I will finish my car soon and see what all the fuss about driving one of these is all about.
I'm curious about the issues with the Wilwood rotors, but that is a discussion for another thread.
