Yeah, lest the Dark Side tempt me and I build a BMW from frustration with a JH!

Best wishes for the debut, guys. I kind of hope that you aren't TOO successful, lest the ITAC ballast gods pee in your punchbowl.

Given the teething problems we are experiencing with improving the TR8, I expect it will be a while before the JH sniffs anywhere near the front.

BUT, at 2200 it is damn light for ITS. We think at Roebling and CMP, it could be the car to have. Think about it...it weighs 100 lbs LESS than an SM and has probably 30-40 more......

I'll get some pics up later today/tonight of the motor. It does look good, sort of falls into that "contraption" classification with all the exposed timing gears, pulleys, and twin carbs with lots of mechanical bits. Definitely more visual than modern engines with plastic engine covers!

Yep, when that thing comes apart, it will be SPECTACULAR.

Evan, we will look for you at Roebling. We'll probably need help getting a hulk of some sort on the trailer, either the JH or the TR8.

Kirk, you making the trip to Savannah?
