GoPro mounts are in. Only had time for one pass on the welding. I don’t know how but they came out straight. Stainless is usually unforgiving in the pulling department. We’re ready for the unfinished class at the show. I have to have the car there tomorrow afternoon. Got the clutch adjusted too. So nice

Did I ever mention that I really like those seats? Anxious, as I'm sure you are also, to see the finished windshield. The whole build is looking great.

Out in the public eye. A little nervous. I talked to a few people and the feed back was good for me. Very encouraging. So I need to loose the mock up steering wheel and buy a 13" or larger to satisfy the state. What do you guys like. I am thinking wood but undecided.

Wood wheels are attractive but for driving I much prefer a thicker rim than most wood wheels have. YMMV

Thanks Lonnie. It was good until I found the limitations on the trailer. A 7’ wide rental was all I found. Well you loose a few inches in width on the ramp door with the cables. Which leaves you with about 1-1/2” clearance on each side. Pulling it off I hooked the passenger side rear fender. I already have repaire work. So looking into trailers will be 8’ footers. Man that just pisses a guy off.

I’ve been in love with these side mirrors ever since I saw them a couple years ago on Tony Ingram racing page. Not as nice as his but for me they’ll work.

Steve, there was a time when any "REAL" sports car had to have those style of mirrors to accepted by the elite. Your's would be more acceptable if they had a light blue tint to the lens! :wink:

These were the only ones I could find without paying $300/ mirror for original. Even so there from England. The new ones are affordable

Sent in for title and Licencing to the state. We’ll see how this goes. They said to expect 3-4 weeks before I hear anything. Next week I’ll show you my roadster glove box. More like a pouch but should be Kool. Found a Kool regulation steering wheel. Wisconsin has a Min 13” size. I’ll show you that later.

We’re getting down there. Shaped up my brakes today and got my roadster glove boxes today to, nice surprise. I wanted to have a template to the glass shop on Friday. I don’t see it but who knows. Didn’t get them until Monday night.
