casaleenie 10-23-2003 04:57 PM

Oh my goodness!!!! That's great!!!!

Congrats. again...

I was upset when I didn't win the kit two years ago.. I've just gotten over the disappointment and now I see the completed car... Oh well, I guess another two years will go by quickly and I'll get over it again....:LOL:

Tony Ripepi 10-23-2003 05:11 PM

Al,

The winning of the kit was a surprise and the building of it was beyond what I could have done on my own. I was committed from the get go for it to be a special car and had an image of what I wanted. Jay and guys at Elite have fulfilled that image in all respects.

What you can not see in the pictures is the Heater/AC/ totally hidden audio system w/CD Changer, alarm system, electric door openers, hydraulically operated front clip....nobody said anything about the full wheel wells .....flat top drivers footbox, tilton pedal assembly, additional instruments, custom dashboard, Stainless Steel everywhere not to mention the full interior with heat and sound insulation.

Jay has been the primary focus for this build and they have done a great job......can not wait drive it through Crow Canyon and then head over the San Mateo bridge to Pacific coast !!!

Rick,

Hurry! You have to see the stainless in person to appreciate it. Beyond awesome, the fab is mind boggling!

The trick glass/structure work on the hood is also worth a look before you get snagged by the EFI and electronics. :eek:

Wow.

Tony Ripepi 10-24-2003 10:31 AM

TomH,

I am dealing with some family issues but, looking to take the car from Ohio to Tennesee and have it shipped from there to California so, it will be there in London over the weekend.

Take the time to visit Elite if you wanted to see the car this weekend.
