Love the color, it has very interesting shades to it as it reflects off the metal contours. Really gives depth to the paint.

Custom machined billet aluminum radiator cap.
That's an outstanding radiator cap. It's really an eye catcher. I saw the engine pics before this post and was trying to figure out how you done it would you mind sharing where others my get a cap similar?

Saw this wonderful automobile at Mopar Madness in Langley today....It's breath-taking!! Totally awesome work! Sorry I never got a chance to meet you in person,but as soon as I laid eyes on it, I knew it something to behold.
Thanks for sharing.

The rad cap is a one-off custom made piece. My father owns and runs a machine shop and he made it. I guess if there is enough interest, we could make a small batch of these.

The car is now basically finished, only needing some minor details. The paint still needs a final polish, install the hockey stick stripes, some more programming/adjustments to the ECU, calibrate the electric speedometer, and a few other little things.
Overall it drives excellent, I only put about 50 miles on it so far, but I'm very happy with it overall. LOTS of power, excellent throttle response, etc. The brakes are also very good. Pretty much everything went as planned, and I had to do only very little troubleshooting.
The entire build pretty much met the objectives I had set out. The only complaint is the lack of power steering, the car originally came without it, and I didn't put one in. This is something I may address this winter.
Here is a picture of it at its first show on Sunday, Mopar Madness in Langley, BC. I had a great time, and met a few members in person. I will post more pics of the finished car next week.
