Man....that's looking great so far. One of the greatest feelings in the world is when you've finally completed a build directed totally by your own vision. It's even better than ordering the car custom from the factory, because every single component is hand-selected and installed by your own hand. You stand in awe for a few hours, savoring the moment you take the car on it's maiden voyage.

Then you get a hefty alarm or someone will take it away from you.
