Well… we’re here. Despite putting the ‘Mach 1’ decals on at 11:30 last night, we made it. We had a great day just relaxing and Frank actually won a Best In Class award – on his first time out!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part was when the MSG Commander was walking by admiring Frank. He actually told me it’s a beautiful car, to which I replied, “Looks a lot different than the last time you saw it, eh?” “Excuse me?” he looked confused. I told him that this is that pile of project car that took up so much space in his Auto Hobby Shop while Jim and I was running it for him for the past 18 months on the weekends.” His demeanor changed as he said, “Oh. You must be Eric.” “Yes Sir, I am.” He kept staring at Frank, grinding his teeth, and finally said, “Nice car,” as he turned and stormed off.

Oh. My. Gawd. I felt SO good. I delivered a nice verbal equivalent of a kick in the nuts to the elitist asshole who’d caused Jim and I so much hassle. My day was complete at that point… until he had to hand over a Best In Class plaque later that day, that is. Best. Day. Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showing off the engine at the GAFB Car Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Got the tires slicked up and everything polished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even the trunk was in inspection order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Interior’s pretty much all finished up, except for the seat belts and a couple more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Didn’t get the trunk stripe on yet – still gotta adjust the trunk lid… and pretty much just ran out of time last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No words… just a cool car and a cool guy – my pal\u00a0Jim Eimer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My pal Jim and his Jeep after the show and everybody bailed. Just grabbin’ a couple pics and having a celebratory Guiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the spec sheet from the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And one of the new hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
