Congratulations! Sounds pretty gnarly---even with the undercar exhaust...

I was begging them to open a shop door from here in the peanut gallery. That would have been the first thing I did. Looks and sounds beautiful. Great job by all.
Are you sure the car's exhaust was hooked up? That was loud.
I need a street car now.

Sounds good. Hope you didn't throw any smutz out the tail pipes, that's my 289 FIA behind yours, in for roll bar installation.

You just fired it up and you're ready to move it out?
I was thinking more about a companion for the Kirkham, but I had to think about that one for a minute.
You've got exquisite taste. |

I've been "gassed out" too many times in my life. No more for me. I'm feeling a little light-headed just looking at the video.  |

I love the smell of new paint and that first heat cycle. It's one of the scariest and most exciting moments, till you get it sideways for the first time. It does sound gnarly but it seems like it's all out the back as you'd expect. Good stuff Frank and the ERA team.

Saw it in person today and it is a work of art! Peter P. even fired it up for me and it sounded great (a little more subdued in person than the video, but still a nice growl)!
Congratulations on a phenomenal labor of love!
