Nice back story too on his journey over the years as a home builder...

Before selling my engineering company the first of this year, I was fortunate to be able to machine quite a few parts on this car for Bob. Over the years of going to his events (Ohio Musclecar Challenge, Great Lakes Musclecar Challenge, and now the Northeast M. C.), I've become pretty good friends with Bob. He is great guy and has a unique vision towards cars. Best part is, he builds them and DRIVES them hard. The way it should be! He's still tweaking on things with this one as it's only been to GG Des Moines so far. He'll be at Columbus this weekend as well.

A A ron, did you have anything to do with the master cylinder bracket?......I have a need for one.

Plus one for Bob being a swell dude.

Oh, for sure. Hope to be able to be in the position to make cool parts again someday.

Negative. I believe DSE whittled one out for him. Their C3 is the only other car running that setup so far (that I know of).

That's a good looking car. Didn't realize he did Code Red which I really like also.
