    How much time, money and heartache have gone into this car? Is it everything you wanted? Fred wants to know!

    The first three questions are covered here. The last one, "thanks to MOs Speed Shop" - HELL YES!

    Any updates since you got it home?

    I’ve checked in on this thread for a while (even before becoming a member) and I saw your car at Mo’s last December when I dropped mine off... out of everything in the shop, it certainly stood out! I walked over and took a good long look... what a sweet ride.

    I apologize for being absent from the forum. COVID-19 has been all consuming.

    Largely to do with COVID-19, my car remains at MO's Speed Shop. Work on fixing or replacing many items from the previous shop has occupied the restoration for the last many months: new fuel pickup and pumps, new gas tank, weld rear trunk and seat holes from improper mount of the gas tank, new fuel lines, new power steering pump to work with hydro boost system, new fuel rails and mounts, and much, much more. Close at $35,000 and counting!

    We are in the home stretch. Until my car is arrives on my doorstep, I asked Marty to send me his red Z06 Vette for me to use. I assume he is still thinking about it. He's such a sweetie.

    I will post pics and videos when Marty purchases a decent mobile phone.

    Sincerely,
    Marty's biggest fan

    This has got to be the record for longest build. I don't know how you went so long without driving it. Heck, I've gone through 3 MM's since the start of this build. So glad that the end is near for you. Marty is the BOMB !

    Marty did not ship me his Z06 Vette!

    Jeff is test driving my baby to find and fix whatever arises. Suspension tuning is near: corner balancing, setting up the JRi coilover shock settings for daily and haul-ass use. Recall, I can set suspension parameters via a remote. I am sure most of you will say, 'what is daily drive for'?

    Other things remain: painting the nose, detailing the car (outside and inside) and a MOs Speed Shop engine badge!

    Marty has trained me to not ask, "when will it be done". As I need Marty and Jeff much more than they me, I try my best to behave. Although Marty recently did mention he is getting a new mobile number. Don't know what that's all about.

    MO's Speed SHop has completed the project. COVID-19 cost us all and this project delayed many months. This is not a complaint, just the reality of keeping Marty, Jeff and all the workers safe.

    I will post pictures soon. Marty never did get a new iPhone, so getting videos and pictures has been a challenge.
