The silver with the black wheels is AWESOME.
That's what I want to do with my wheels, since I'll never be able to.....oh never mind.

John,
Yep its the same car! Doesnt look like it to me either
The color is cool (to me a least LOL) it has a glint in the sun
But under flourecent lights it looks like shiney primer!
I did a scotch-bright finish on all metal parts and fasteners
I used all titanium and 718 NAS,AN and MS bolts whereever i could
It probably has $3k worth of bolts if i had to Pay for them The steering wheel bolts are 100deg,718, torx heads that my cust sells for $27 ea.
I used 9 lol

Jason,
You know Super Car Sunday Is featuring the Shelby's and Scott Lomonaco at the end of July. Make an effort to come and show off the pride. It would be great to see you and I know you have a lot of freinds out there.
