    Default Finished (almost!)

    A few odds and ends left to do but it's pretty much ready. Homologation is complete as well. Of course as my to do list has shrunk so my 'like to do' development list grows longer. Perhaps I should just run it first! An overload of day job work is going to hold things up unfortunately, but I plan to get a good few tests on it before the ARRC. Havn't had it on the scales yet either but I know it's no Stohr or Phoenix. If I'm under 1000lbs I'll be happy.

    Looks absolutely fantastic. I hope it's not as fast as it looks.

    Those painted wing end plates - are they carbon fiber?

    :-).

    Thanks Mark! I don't think I'll ever run it - just keep it in the garage and polish it Cheaper that way too.

    On the other hand I might take it for a spin in the next few weeks. I'm snowed under at work at the moment but if anyone knows of any testing dates in the south east that would be much appreciated. I'll try to take a few more pics this weekend with the car on the ground, and out in the fresh air.

    You really did a super job Ben.

    Its always hardest taking the car out when its in that state... perfect. It can only go downhill from there. I've talked to PF about that very thing and we both go through a bit of remorse when loading it into the trailer thinking about what could happen to our perfectly prepared, clean, ready ride.

    Good thing they are so damm fun!

    BTW- what diff are you running?

    Yea, I was hoping that might be the first opportunity I'd get to drive my F1000, but it's looking less likely. Too bad because there are a few open wheel buddies planning to go.

    September 20 may be a private test day at Roebling with an open spot. Ben, let me know if you're interested and I'll hook you up with the folks. I might try to do it. It's a week day, though.
