Just curious if there were any updates on the patterns/prototypes? My experience is you have to stay on top of the process or 6 weeks becomes 6 months and then 6 years. Hope everything is moving along OK.

Thank you Tom. Appreciate the up-dates and staying in the loop. Still very much looking forward to being on the dyno with the production piece and then out on the street this coming year.

Really appreciate your efforts keeping a finger on the pulse of this project. It takes a "hands on" approach to take this to the finish line.

My engine is very close now even though I have put the brakes on it a little while waiting for the intake. Ordered the dipstick today so you know I am close! I would say within a week of getting the bathtub in my hands, it will be on the dyno. Can't wait. !

Only money we can’t take it with us. We have it enjoy it while we’re here. Our race tracks in N.E. have mostly disappeared so this is just money I would have broke at the track.

Can’t wait to see this. Told my wife we are going to need a bigger bed. LOL.

"Only money we can't take it with us."
Yeah, tell that to my wife, she keeps me out of financial trouble with my Pontiac as well as with our standard of living. "Bigger bed". LOL.
Can't wait to see the final product as well!
