Glad things are working out and congrats! At least we all know where that one came from!
And thanks for keeping everyone posted and following up. Many don't do that.
Yes, please start a separate thread on your upcoming build adventure.

I've followed several of his posts, but I've never been clear on whether he fabs everything from scratch, or what?

He's right here on this site, so you should be able to just ask him.

I view the roller yesterday and think that's the car I'm going to go with. I may start a thread on it as I do have some questions. I meet Craig and he seemed very very knowledgeable and one heck of a guy!!!!!

I appreciate all the advice and guidance .... This site rocks!!!!!!
It was nice to meet you and your co worker the other day as well

Two very nice guy's.

Threads like yours, and G-Pete's, are really pretty amazing. Is there anyone on here that has a 100% complete car of yours? I'd like to see and hear how it runs, performs, etc.

WTF?? One day I really hope to meet you in person and have a face-to-face talk. You have slammed me on this and other forums for years for NO REASON. I do not know you, I have never met you and I have never done business with you. I know that I saved your butt on your ordered cobra from a long gone dealer or you would still be waiting for a car so you must be the type of person that gives back-handed compliments & insults and thinks they are funny. They are not. You have an issue with me I am right here in plain view (not hiding behind some keyboard and using a punk screen name).

BTW - I replied to Mac Mcneill even before he posted here about potentially buying the car and I gave him some great professional advice and he thanked me kindly. Thats the way its done between professional people that don't have an underlying agenda.

I just bought CSX 6069. Its now going to live in the Chicago area. Scottsdale motorsports, where I bought the car is great. A no pressure, dealer, where the cars, sell them selves. I too, spoke to Stephen Becker, before the purchase. He answered, all my questions, and told me to call back, if I had anymore. A true professional and nice guy.

Welcome to the craziness!

FYI - I bought my car from Stephen Becker and had a great experience. The car has always run very well.

I almost caveated my post with "excepting user-created calamities" (and probably a metallurgical flaw in the axle's steel).
