Howdy,
I'm building a Factory Five Racing ( FFR ) Spyder GT. The Spyder is a convertible version of a Shelby Daytona Coupe. Here's a link to my build thread:

Part of the process you have to take "shakedown" drives to work out kinks and to tune the engine.
Here's a couple of vids:

I had a bungee cord hanging from the chassis that I had to remove.

I'm slowly tuning the EFI/ECU on my 414W so after "tweeting" on her I have to go for a test drive.
I pulled it out on the highway and drove down to the next road, about 100yds, and had a couple of cars honk and wavy. It was soooo cool!
Hopefully the bodywork and paint will be finished in two weeks then I can remount the body so I can wrap things up.
I need to swap to the ceramic coated headers, finish the exhaust, rework the cold air system, and a million other things.
I can see a very dim and distant light at the end of the tunnel.

P.S. These vids could have been titled "How to fit a big fat guy into a little car."
