Penske's ? Very nice, your Edd and Mike cost sheet will end up looking like mine....
Somehow it seems wrong to spend more on the shocks than I paid for the car!
The body repair is coming along nicely and I should get it in phase 1 condition next week. The frame guy has made many of the pieces but has not tacked it together. I expect a burst of energy soon, I hope.

Thanks Dennis. I saw a picture of your blue car at Monterey this year and it looked great. You really shifted into high gear to finish that project in time for the race. If you are still selling it you should post some pictures of it here to stir interest or just so people can see a nice example of a Devin D racer.
