build diary

June 4, 2004: I ordered my radiator yesterday.
It should be here early next week. Do I need it right away? Well, no. But this will allow me to finish the nose of the car. I've also been cleaning up wiring and getting closer on that front. I'm tempted to leave the head on the engine just long enough to let me start the thing up - that would be a major milestone, wouldn't it?

I've been getting a lot of mail about the car sitting on the ground - it looks like a car now! - and on the colour question. Most votes are going for the orange, so I've put a couple of mockups in the build photos to get a better idea of how it might look. The orange is usually matched with black wheels etc but in my case it will be matched with shiny aluminum. I'm still not sure. Everyone's got an opinion - let me know in the guestbook or by email!
