I'm starting over with my build thread with a more appropriate name and I'll provide a little more background on my build up front. My build is a JBL Coupe, built by Larry Goins of Goins Motorsports, and designed by Richard Hudgins. Luckily for me, not Larry, I live very close to him in Tulsa. I can even check up on him over lunch, which I've done more than a few times.
The reason I chose JBL was simple, the chassis design is unlike any other. Number one, its pure eye candy with the monocoque design and use of billet is a trick looking plus. I'm confident from testimonials I've read that it will perform as good as it looks. See more details on their website at JBLmotor.com for more chassis details.
I chose Brent Lykins to build my motor. He's a regular contributor on CC and was a joy to work with. His attention to detail is impressive and his willingness to go the extra mile to make me happy was remarkable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a high quality engine built.
I'll repost some of my previous pics from my "new build" thread and keep new pics here. If you have questions, please post, PM me, or better yet, contact Larry for more detailed details. On to some pics....if I can figure out this dang mac laptop......
