Charmer, bring it on to Dallas!! Can't wait to see the RedRaiderMobile. The car is still red w/ black stripes, right!

Yes sir! Red with black stripes and gumballs, framed by a pin stripe on both sides. I'm really happy with the way it turned out

Excellent - I'll contact Texas Tech and see if we can still get you signed up for the Homecoming Parade!! It's good thing you bought that trailer...long haul to Lubbock!!

Ha Ha....the dust storms in Lubbock could strip a car down to bare fiberglass!! I'm not taking the Red Beast anywhere near there

If all goes well, when do you expect to have that silver bullet on the road?

Since I've never built a car, I'm not sure how long it will take me. Okiesnake was able to complete his in 4 weeks, but then his was already painted. It is realistic to think I could be driving by year end, but there is no real hurry (I want to do it right) other than my own impatience and adrenaline. I should receive my first box from Enzo tomorrow with seat belts, emblems, quick jacks, etc.

Now it really gets fun.

Stretch,
This is really coming together now......! When you get in this evening, give me a call if you want- 214-827-7973. Bobby Worley & I are planning to hook up with you tomorrow morning- either at Gary's house or at Champs for lunch. I know EXACTLY how you feel right now at this stage, but please remember that there are still some "possible little bumps in the road" ahead. You need to be prepared to change your plans back a (possible) week or so on picking the car up in case the engine doesn't get delivered today to Doug, or something else. Believe me, at the very end of the game, patience is vital & getting in a delivery rush is not to your benefit. You listen to Doug, & if another week for prep & sorting things out becomes necessary, then just let it be.
Man, it will be good to see you again, either tonight or tomorrow, & let's talk.
John R.
