@Ken Howell - lol, I'll be honest with you - I got pretty turned around and got lost! It was my first time driving that road, first time taking the car out on a "long" drive. I was still feeling the car out (still am in fact) and wanted to try it out in various gears. I could have left it in 4th the whole way except for the straights but that would have ended up winding the engine out pretty good and I think the motor only had about 200 miles on it at that point.
Bob Shupe the kit is $44k minus engine and trans. Let’s say I came in under budget ... ;) the car is currently plastidipped. I’ll keep it in dip for at least a year to let the body age.
Beauty car and beauty places.
You should really do a Walkaround video explaining every nitty-gritty detail detail
Onkar Indurkar I may do that in the future, I’m not much for being in front of the camera!
This must be the West grade rd. Been up and down that many times. Probably could leave it in 4th all the way up ?

What transmission?
@Anthony B - it's a Graziano transaxle, same one used on the manual Audi R8s (I have the V8 box).
Amazing, well-done! What was your total build cost? Did you wrap or paint?

Nice view
Do you live in San Diego?
@ doniukos - Yep
Cam Thai nice! I drive that road too very often. Hope to see you driving around there soon!
