Dave, Nice slide in the last few pics!

You need more rollbar man :D

Looking good Dave! That polished aly/BRG/yellow nose combination is a classic.

Nice pics Ken. Thanks for sharing! :)

Wow! Thanks so much for shooting all those pictures, Ken. They look great! It was a pleasure to meet you and the rest of the gang on Sunday. I had a great time. I can't wait to see your car once it's out there tearing it up. Sounds like it will be terrific.

It'd be great to get the full-res pictures, but there's no particular hurry. I'll PM you and we can work out how to do it.

Mazda, upon first reading your comment I wasn't entirely sure if you meant more roll stiffness or a higher roll-bar, but either way you're right! :D

I really need to get on some better tires, but then I'm stuck with the limited selection in 13" unless I shell out for new rims. And on top of that, I don't want to give up much ground clearance and pretty much all the tires of comparable OD (regardless of rim size) have a load index that makes me think they might be too stiff for such a light car.

Bruce, thanks for the props on the color scheme. If you read the "How many Sevens have you driven thread", you'll know I've always had a bit of a penchant for it. :D There's a chance I'll make it over to British-by-the-Sea this weekend. If I do I'll look for you.

"There's a chance I'll make it over to British-by-the-Sea this weekend. If I do I'll look for you." - Dave, since I've already missed Carlisle and LOG this year, I'm REALLY hoping to have my car ready for BBTS. Either way I'll probably be there. That'd be great if you could make it! :)

c'mon man, tighten it up. ;)

[xflow7]

Yeah, I drove kind of sloppy here and there. But it was fun! :)

Ken,

The pics of your build look great. Easier to see on my computer than on your cell phone. :)

Dave

[KENLUDE97]

Thanks. I'll get there eventually. Buying LOTS of parts right now.
