    Hey Guys...Thanks for the compliments!

    Still haven't installed the bungee cord yet...not sure if I will...hate drilling more holes in the body!

    I've only gotten to drive it once before my knee gave out again. It looks like I am going to have to have a "total knee replacement" to correct the problem. I'm scheduled for surgery on June 18th...so hope I get to drive it again before then. Because it will be at least 6-8 weeks before I can drive again. NUTS!

    Geary,

    Thanks!

    I had hoped to have more videos to post but my computer just froze up. Right now I do not have access to any of my photos or videos. Hopefully we can retrieve them off my hard drive and put them on my new computer that I am getting this weekend. Stupid motherboard crashed and we are in the process of reconstructing everything. I have this back up computer that is only good for email that I am using to post these messages.

    Sweet sound!

    I did notice that you are mighty close to that exhaust pipe as you exit the vehicle. Do a search on that topic for important safety information! I think Phil might have something to say about it.

    Paul,

    You are right about the exhaust being close to exit...however, since I have already built a couple of 427 versions...I am well aware of the HOT exhaust pipes...it seems as if you only need to touch them once to remember!
