AN UNEXPECTED TURN OF EVENTS

So its been a while since the last update, mostly because little progress has happened on the car.
About the only physical build progress was the installation of the fuel lines.  A few pictures are still necessary for such an insignificant advancement because of the cool little clamps that I made.
As illustrated here:

Actually there is more to report.  

The car has gotten too heavy to be suspended up on the rotisserie so it is now on the ground on all fours.

 Its really nice to have a forklift next door.

And no, I didn't make motor noises....

But now to the title of this post, a few weeks ago Brenda and I found ourselves driving through Salt Lake City after a vacation in Moab, Utah(what a beautiful place).  It just so happens that CSX 2299

(#2 of the original 6 Daytona Coupe race cars) is in a wonderful little museum about 30 miles SW of Salt Lake.   It was a transforming experience for me.  I spent nearly an hour in front of this wonderful piece of automotive history. 

 And now it seems that I have to paint my replica the original blue with a white stripe.
