Here it is, on wheels for the first time in over 6 years! I updated my project blog too.

I'm gonna go get some beer and just look at it.

L.O.T. Here's what I was flying yesterday by not working on my o2.

Brakes are very important. I should know.

Looks sweet!

Are you going to have that thing ready for the Melee?

You just have to get work on flying those big transporter planes. Then you could take your 02 with you.

I would love the paycheck that goes with flying very large cargo planes. I'm gonna have to make due flying a Falcon 50.

I wish I could go to the Melee. Seing how I'm in Ohio and the Melee is in Ca. Maybe someday.

any tips on the rear disc kit? i just ordered mine

I had to add a thin washer to the spacer to get the caliper to disc clearance right. It's not the best setup but it's not a bad one. You also have to make up a length of tubing with a welded on washer for the e-brake cable to through and so it can mount to the caliper. I'll have to take a photo of it sometime. You also have to install the caliper adaptor plate before you put on the hub. It's hard to get an allen wrench in there with the hub on. Routing of the parking brake cable is tough too. It would be better if it was a few (3?) inches shorter.

Your car looks great and I like that Swift. I just drove my 02 to the airport this morning and flew a T182T from glenwood springs to grand junction and back. Then hopped back in the 02 to go to work. Ya gotta love it! You ever fly to Rifle or Aspen?

Hey mate! Looks dashing! Congrats on hard work and lots of late hours to finally have the car rolling... I look forward to seeing the project continue forward and all of your vision and hard work become a driving reality.

Good luck!

PS - what rear disk set up are you using?? I *just* ordered Massive brakes for the front... need something for the back now!
