Craig,
Like the black race screen. May have to have you make me one when the current one needs to be replaced.

I know Kevin and myself are looking forward to having the car at SAAC, Kevin has been very patient and looking foward to participate at SAAC, not just a spectator this year. 
Car runs super nice! I could not be happier with the first drive, cuts the corners like a go kart,
Fun times ahead in NH!!  |

In that I occasionally visit cobrakiwi, I've enjoyed seeing this car evolve over a several year period. I was there in May, and by then the majority of the owner-requested special pieces were in place which ramped up my appreciation of the car. Add in Craig's fabrication skills, and the car has become a masterpiece.
Several times I've said it will be a shame to get dust and road dirt on it.

So, Craig, when do you start a new thread on the blue one in the background? Can't seem to get enough of your builds!
And I hope that Mongoose eventually creates another thread with some full-size pictures of the cleaned-up car from all angles.

Well it was a bitter sweet moment, we loaded up Kevins red car and it is on it's way back to NH.
My shop certainly feels a little different with out a red car inside, 
As for the next project, I have a couple very cool and very different builds up next. |

Looking forward to doing just that. Driving down to VA next Wednesday to see the completed car for the first time. Can't wait!!! This is how the Hi-Tech looked 6.5 years ago when I bought it. I was able to salvage the frame, uprights, and rotors. Everything else was either discarded, traded or sold and replaced...

Hi Mike,
This is a recreation of one of the early 427 comp cars. No SC lip and wider rear fender flares. No front cooling fans as these cars were used on the track and not on the street for the most part. Early FIA wheels. Single fresh air vent, comp seat, brake ducts and of course, a diff cooler with air duct. There are several other subtle differences but these are some of the main ones.
Who knows, someday I may want to track the car but for now, I was just going for originality...

And you (with Craig’s expertise) nailed it. Now take it to Amelia Island or Pebble Beach and fool all of the experts. This car is amazing top to bottom, front to back. Congratulations on a terrific re-creation. |
