Sergio,

Now that 2009 is here '427Blur' is finally ready to graduate. It has taken 2 years to complete her. She is not 100% done but then again which build is absolutely done? I've got a handful of things that are scheduled to be added in the Spring but for now I am looking forward to seeing that odometer turn.

Some Details about 427Blur:

Everyone, thank you all for your kind words. I wish I can tell you that she drives like she looks but I have yet to drive her. I've sat in the passenger seat twice though and I can say that she draws many looks and thumbs ups. The builder is delivering the car to my house tomorrow (Friday), I am giddy with excitement just thinking about it. The weather should cooperate on Saturday so I am planning on taking more photos then. I'll post it back here again. Stay tuned!!!

>> Andy, I am planning on photographing the car on Saturday. The weather up here has been terrible and the lighting conditions haven't been ideal.

Absolutely gorgeous!! Great colour combo! What is that sticking down under the oil cooler opening? Cheers, Rod

>> Rod, that thing below the oil cooler is a laser receiver from Passport 9500ci Radar and Laser System. There are two other laser 'shifters' on either side of the center receiver that shifts the incoming signals away from the source.

Beautiful car. Are those the Finishline twin fans ? Did you have them polished ?

>> Original fans are from Finishline but the brackets they sold were replaced with Neka Racing's custom fan bracket which floats the fans facing forward. The polarity has been reversed so that it pulls the air into the radiator. The fan blades came polished from Finishline. It works great with separate manual switch. Here's another shot of the fan.

WOW, that sets the bar high for 2009! Beautiful car, congrats! Gregg

>> I am humbled but there are great innovators here in the forum. I think the bar will continuously be raised with or without this build.
