Guys, thanks a lot for all your comments. Clois knows, I don't sleep much and I spent many nights in the garage. You know the ones where you come in and take a shower then go to work! I did most of the car myself. The body man was really very good and the engine was really a special build. Both of those guys are to be commended. The kit is fantastic. I will tell you that Fran at RCR is really a great guy. I got about 90% of the parts from him, the rest I sourced myself. The SVO 8.7 block was a "special" puchase along with a matched billit crank from the builder. I don't know much more than that.

Regarding the oven cleaner, It is not that easy. You will have to use a small brass brush to do the final prep and don't use it on swivil fittings with an o-ring. I learned that the hard way.

I got my plates today but I need the appraisal for my insurance. I will probably be an unisured motorist tomorrow and just see how it feels. I loved my little FIa kirkham but this car is more of everything. I hope I enjoy the GT as much as my cobra. I hear it will take some getting use to. If you guys have any questions let me know, I have taken pictures of about every bolt as it was put together.
