    Please Graduate #8707

    I can now say she is all done, well sort of. Are they ever really done? Stacks are in the future but for now I'll stick with what I have . Special thanks goes out to many who helped me along the way and all those who actively participate on this forum as the repository of information is incredible. Some of those who helped me via PM's, phone, etc. are: Mike Everson, Jeff Kleiner, EdwardB (Paul), Jeff Miller, CraigS, Mark Reynolds --> do these all sound familiar or what? I know there are many more, just forgetting them all right now.

    Like many, there were modifications added along the way, mostly different parts from Replica Parts, Breeze, **********, etc.

    Build summary:

    Forte 351w
    Quickfuel 680
    TKO600
    15" Halibrands
    Viking blue with wimbledon white stripes

    Bummer, It looks like you did a lot of the things I want to do.

    Is the lettering on the tires stencils? They look great.

    Did you use the FFR paint?

    Definitely post up more pics if you have them!

    Thanks everyone. It feels great to have her complete and with the sanity check with Mike Everson, I am a lot more confident on taking longer drives now.

    The lettering are actual letters and not stencils. I got mine from Tredwear and am very pleased with them. The colour is not a FF color but they do have a similar color that i think they named "vintage race blue". Have not seen that on a roadster so not sure how close it is to Viking.
