There's light at the end of the tunnel, and it's as bright as the new LED shift light that OZVENOM recently installed for me.
I DROVE MY CAR TODAY!!!!!
Well, I put it in gear and drove it out into Scott's backyard. A combination of a twitchy throttle pedal (or operator), moist grass and a fully locked "spool" rear end led to the inevitable loss of traction on the lawn. I'm sure that Scott and his wife Ros will see the funny side of their new trench eventually.
Never mind Scott's voice on the video calling out to "Do it again!"
While it won't be of much direct consequence to all you guys in the US, I have to mention the time and effort that Scott (OZVENOM) put into this car over the last two years. Specifically, the last two weeks have been an intense effort to get the car completed and on the road. He has a business to run - Venom Custom Fabrications - and he has made himself available to work fulltime on my car, quite possibly at the risk of losing other customer jobs. I literally would not have seen this project through to completion without Scott's efforts, and for that I am forever grateful.
Not grateful enough to let his own twin turbo, all wheel drive quad cam Cobra project beat me on a racetrack, but very grateful nonetheless.
I have uploaded about 12 other photos into my Gallery.
