It's FINISHED!!!

Saturday, October 12, 2002

Friend Kent Cartner and I just returned from the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta and, on a hunch, I checked my FTP site just to see if there might be any new pix from AAT Cars -- and there were!

It's finished (YAY!) and ready to ship.   There's even a dealer tag on it so I know they road tested it.   I haven't talked with Steve yet about a couple of minor problems I see from the pictures (do you see 'em?) but that'll happen on Monday.

Right side:

From the right rear side, down low:

From the right rear corner, down low (my second favorite view):

The driving position:

The detail of the shift knob and boot.   Just what I asked for (red with white stitching).   I love it!

The whole interior:

The left side:

The left front corner:

The left front wheel; red calipers, white lettering! Cool!

And, finally, the hood emblem:

Next step? Load it up in an enclosed carrier and BRING IT HOME! This "might" happen this coming week but, more likely, we'll have to wait for Buzz and Jackie's car to be finished which might push it into the next week...
