    Looking good, really enjoy your videos. It’s fun to see your thought process threw them. Often I’ll be more than half way threw wondering why you’re approaching something the way you are when it dawns on me your coming at it from almost 180 deg from where I would have been thinking.

    great to see different perspectives and thought process in how to achieve the goal

    That shifter is crazy cool! I would really like to see this car in person. I bet up close I could find something to bitch about. o_O:D

    Hey @jordabennett
    What you have created is pure, highly functional, no bullshit automotive jewelry!
    I hope it goes to a new owner, that can really appreciate, the fine craftsmanship, it took to create it.

    How can you sell it? This is a work of art. And your nephew...

    Beautiful job. Hopefully the next owner will run it in some competition of some sort, and not just lock it away in a climate controlled vault...

  19. We were were able to get out and blow some steam off last weekend at the first annual Saltbush Speedway. A great group of guys and smiles all around. Lost compression in one cylinder but was able to have fun both days to happening. That’s for another day.
    Hear a a couple photos with a full video coming next week.

  25. Well the motor needs some love after a weekend at the speedway but the interior got some well deserved upolstery work. I feel with any car the interior is just as important as the exterior- how ever your style is. Finished or unfinished. With the mid night special this really it the cherry on the cake. 689FF83A-4823-4E20-9748-F7068CA854E8.jpeg B8434A09-91CA-4835-BE95-1B7C0FFD265E.jpeg 63D0E609-C999-4362-A5F4-39C8004ED11F.jpeg 52610A7A-76D8-493D-88A2-04CD1E9BCC53.jpeg 1E12D1A3-1EC2-44A8-9148-D6A7EA9DE423.jpeg 6DFE855B-22F7-45E1-BD2A-A8FB50A7C8D6.jpeg

  29. I missed this build, but after catching up on it all I can say is WOW! Beautiful work!
    We built the rail in my profile pic in 67 days to make TROG 2019, and it fired up the first time in the Aquarius parking lot Friday morning, so I feel your pain about being down to the wire on a build. ;)

    Again, congratulations, and amazing work.

    v/r,
    jason
