I visited the car Saturday and it’s looking pretty awesome. Painter says he’ll probably bring me the Spyder Saturday.

I love how some of these cars look like they just rolled out of high tea at a garden party and others (ahem) look like they just rolled out of Thunderdome.

Good on ya both tackling this though.

Roy, like you I was taught the dual master cylinder gave redundancy. It is supposed to, but it’s also supposed to be scary–like pedal goes to the floor scary. Fortunately I’ve never had to test the theory that you can still stop with one part of the system wide open.

Hope to see everyone there. I’m sorta kinda in charge of the banquet thing…

That’s pretty great!
