Here is a Website that replaced the Side markers with LED and you can get them painted. I'm thinking about doing my tinted to stand out on the car but I think it would look sweet yellow on your car. I like your car and great theme. The lights are a lil pricey but look good.

I'm kinda shocked that it is just now making car of the week. I always just assumed that it had done that long ago. I really love your car and am a huge fan of all the great research and work you have done on getting the weight down.

I am green with envy! I have my plans and will get there eventually. In the mean time I can dream.

Hey, a man's gotta have a dream. This car is my "dream build" which is why I've been going to the trouble I have to get everything done I've "always wanted". Fun stuff.

Just found out the Bassani LT headers and cats weigh 17 lbs each, compared to 23 lbs for the stock exhaust and cats. That makes for a reduction of 12 lbs of weight for both sides. I'm working on getting the weights added/updated on my build list and I'll repost that soon.

I am just betting your car surprises some folks at just how quick it will launch out of a corner. Weight is the key to making a car quick as opposed to fast. A freight train can be fast, but changing direction quickly is out of the question. Do you have some times for us to check out?

Holy Cow Doc...

Didn't see your COTW status until now.

Congrats buddy !!!

You and Blue Angel definitely deserve that status. You have set the bar high for constructive and usable power-to-weight calculations...

Hey Doc, just for the sake of completion of your car journal thread, you have a video of how the Bassani setup sounds?

Yeah I guess a video of Angel at full voice would be appropriate. I'll look into that; just need to figure out how to get a clip together and post it.

And thank you to everyone for their praise, input, and for taking the time to look through this thread!
