Congratulations on this roll out! To those who've never experienced it, be it bike or car, there is no way to describe that first time out in daylight. Everything gets real with some sky over it, don't you think?

Very good looking roadster, Skip.

Regards, Jim

Thanks guys for the encouragement.

It should make the lakebed after Speedweek.

Thanks Jorge, It would be on it's wheels if you hadn't pitched in this last year to get it where it is.

Our lakester hasn't come out of the cellar yet but it was a BIG day last month when it sat on the floor on four wheels after 11 years of building.
