FFR3035 is running and the body is at the painters!  We should be done with 3035 within 2 weeks and 3036 shorthy after.  Our Coupe's and the last Roaster will be here in two weeks, so we have to get the first two done.  Click on the pictures to enlarge.

Do you need words to describe the black marks?  I don't think words are needed.  Our first marks were 38 feet long, the second try was between 75 and 80 feet long! Wow!
   

Below is some pictures of our new friends, Duane and Sherri.  We met Duane from the Cobra Forum. He lives close and has been building his car since this past summer.  He asked to help him install his engine, so we showed up with a gang of people to help him install his engine.
