I am thrashing to get the FF back together for an event sunday. I have had some work the last couple of weeks that demanded my time so missed the first points event.

I took about 40# out of the car this winter including a new aluminum head. I am also getting it painted in the (perhaps) original yellow. I am using the brightest corvette yellow available. I will retain the orange wheels and other highlights to be added later.

I got the new head buttoned down tonight and will continue assembling and repairing in hopes of competing sunday. I have an energetic young mechanic lined up to help me on saturday so perhaps we will get it together!

Wish me luck!
