Whoa Pat !!

What are you doing posting pics of paint dabs on ring gears and the back sides of axle shaft plates? Those will never even been seen again by anyone. That's really snotty of you.




I'm joking of coarse !  :o ;D :D ;) Couldn't resist. >:D


The bar just keeps getting higher and higher. This car is going to be nicer than your other three factory built cars.

I really want to see this car in person someday. I keep bringing friends over to show them your car and the updates.. It's outstanding. EVEN THE THINGS THAT NO ONE WILL EVER SEE. LOL

Outstanding?  I wonder what your car would bring to a barret jackson auction with all the small little details that no one will ever see!!!!!!!!  Keep up the good work

I think a small lynch mob would be at Pat's door if he ever decided to part with that car. :D

Pat,
You should inquire about putting this in an auto museum somewhere - I can see many a car enthusiast appreciating your works for years, perhaps decades down the road.

What are your plans for the car after it's completed?  ... will it go down the road on sunny days?  trailered to shows?
