    Congrats...

    I might suggest a larger fuel tank for longer cruising range... ;)

  16. Awesome man.. glad to see another T coupe make it to the road.. \

    I'm close... About 2 months to go! I can't wait!!

    It's a fantastic feeling seeing all that work and sweat come together.. Even better when you seen how frightened your neibors are by what you've been doing in your off hours.. :)
