    What's Your Favorite Build Photo?

    I was just uploading more pics into my Anniversary Build album and this one is I think my favorite build photo so far:



    I don't know, but to me it's just got the essence of building.

    I just dig it.

    What is the favorite photo of your build?

    Not really a great picture, but certainly my favorite

    I took this with an early generation camera phone late in the day after the first body test-fit. For some reason, it's always been a favorite picture of my car - even over those taken when it was done. It's just distilled down to the essence of the car and the light and gel coat really combine to draw my eye to the flow of the lines.

    Later,

    Not a single picture but a single event. Good friends coming together for a build party.

    Frank,
    Aw, Paul. I've still got a few parts here that came from him and regret that we never met.

    I've got a lot of favorites but will limit it to a couple from my own car rather than the ones done for others.

    This one after building the engine and getting it all dressed:



    And this one after the first start:

    That's a tough one, there are a few.

    This was a "garage night" I had and bunch of local FFR builders came to help install the engine/trans



    But I think this one is my favorite, my son and daughter drilling an riveting the floor panels.
