In reply to Thinkkker: Yes, Evolution was released as I was passing DMV autocrime inspection. But, You can upgrade existing Ultima to Evolution spec. Same car and chassis, different dress. Budget north of 100k, once you get started it just seems to escalating, added traction control, fuel cells, sat radio/navigation, upgraded harness etc.

If I were wearing a hat right now, I'd take it off in your honor.

We need more pics of the completed car. Looks amazing from what you posted already.

I hope you invested in some clecos for all the panel drilling. Fantastic grassroots (don't let anyone try to tell you it's not) build.

You can't just leave cropped picture like that. We need some biggie size full-view pictures.

Clearly, you are a "detail" man. Let us live even more vicariously through you with some full view pictures, please?

Wow. Just.. wow... It's like having your own street legal 962 or Lola T600, with AC. And apparently some kind of vestigal passenger seat to allow you to scare the crap out of people while maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature.

I doff my proverbial cap to you, sir!
