Nice!! Good spec. How much HP in that motor?
Although I haven't started mine, I have been asking lots of questions and everyone here is enthusiastic and passionate about these cars.
Hahaha, Christen. I already told my wife I will be MIA for at least a couple of weeks. LOL!!!
Chopthebass, it has 535 hp.

Congrats! I enjoyed the build. I've been on the road 2 weeks now. What a blast! I found a good way to search for info here. I go to the Google search, type the topic and add factory 5 to the topic.
Today I got that call from Joe Scott confirming the order. Paid for it now the completion date is on the 11th. Weee
My completion date is also the 10/11. I'm jumping on a plane Thursday to fly from Bellingham, Wa out to FFR to tour the place on Friday and see my MKIV before Stewart picks it up on the 13th. What's the name and I'll try to shoot some pics of yours and e-mail to you. PM me your e-mail address

I know I know. I settled on a rear end from Mike Forte. Still not sure if I should get 3.08s or 3.27s though.
I received a call from the driver at Stewart Transportation. I get my kit on Saturday afternoon. I can't believe it. This is a life long dream of mine.
Sweet!
