Short-Throw

The car is scheduled for the paint shop Monday. This will be the last update before the interior is painted. A few more Chromoly Tubes will be added between the firewall and the cage which I'll show after the paint work.

Mike,
Now that the Autobahn is open for the season, I'm sure you are getting itchy and the wait must be killing you. OTOH, it sure looks like it will be worth the wait.

It is looking GREAT, Mike! You do have a crush rod in the steering column, don't you?

John,

With the weather being so cold I haven't been as anxious yet. Once we hit warmer sunny days I'm sure I wont be so patient.

Short-Throw

Jim,

That was the first question I had when I saw it. The column will collapse. Thanks for all the good tips and thoughts!
