Thanks man. It sure has been a roller coaster of getting excited and then cooling my heels while we wait for something to arrive, happen, etc.

Hope the Black Labels work out well for you! They were a key part of my build.

(and now, back to work for me. Gotta pay for all this stuff somehow...)

Always meant to ask, what program/data logger are you using for that sick HUD for your track videos? like the one in ur sig

It's actually an iPhone app called Harry's Laptimer. You need to get an external GPS unit, but it takes video and integrates GPS data. I also have a small device that plugs into my OBD port and throws up a small wifi network that the iPhone logs into and reads engine data real time. It all sounds great and when it works, it's awesome. But, my complaints are:

1) IOS 7 locking video focal length does not work well and so I get videos that are constantly slipping in and out of focus. I am hoping it will be different with IOS 8.

2) The functionality only works 80-90% of the time. So, for instance, you'll finish a great run and then notice that none of it was recorded because for some reason the auto trigger didn't work when you left the grid. Or when you try to overlay, it can't find the engine data. Frustrating for that 10-20% of the time.

There are better systems out there but it's a few grand to install and for now I'd rather put that money into performance....

All I can say is Wow! Thank you Mods - I can't believe it. I've drooled over many COTW over the past four years and never thought that mine would be one.

Can't wait to get things wrapped up and get her onto VIR to see how it all feels under WOT, and in the corners. It'll be end of Feb I bet before that happens, but will post video

Thanks again!

Tran makes those decisions, but your car is very deserving...

I can't wait to hear how this thing runs... It will tear up some track times no doubt...

Thanks for all your congratulations, guys. JusticePete should take a bow here too because he's the mastermind behind turning cravings into performance.

It's been a long time coming but it's finally coming together. Here are a few more shots. Engine bay looking good, and a final shot of the roll cage with a second lateral bar in there. More news as things come together this week.
