Hello Excaliber,

My Coupe is in Ed's shop right mow and has been there since last year when I won the kit. Ed and Jay started work on it in November and Don Scott built a motor for it.

It will be done late July Early August then coming out to the West Coast for fun and frolic with the BACC guys.

They are doing a great job on the car and the delays were not due to Elite and their work. Some outside people that were doing special fabrication held them up.

Daytona coupe coming to Athens Burger breakfast soon......

We missed you at the event Tony. Some of us discussed our wish that you were there to share in the good times my friend. Can't wait to see the Coupe (what's Chuck Think?)!

Sorry we missed you Tony.......It was a great time....Hope you are able to make it next year.....

I look forward to seeing everyone at BACC as soon as my car gets the bugs worked out...I spent most of DVSF working on mine.....had to push it on the transport in Vacaville to get back to DVSF..but was able to drive it on the transport when we left Columbus......

Hi Guys,

Missed seeing you all and putting faces to names.

Brent....Chuck really likes what he sees of the progress pics and appreciates that the FFR Coupe and mine in particular is non-traditional. He is shooting for labor day to have the Aluminum Chuck Coupe on the road and that looks very doable.

Mike ...Looking forward to seeing you at Athens....Thanks to Brent we are in our fourth year of meeting every Saturday morning.

BTW did you guys see it while you were at DV's shop ??????

How did it look?

Tony,

Saw it. Waaaay too much stainless.

Jay is real proud of the work going into it.

When I was there, also saw a new Laguna Spyder parked next to it.

The drool doesn't show on either car.
