    I was fortunate enough to be over at John Esposito's shop when he was working on the car. It looks amazing! Lots of talented people donated their time and skill to make this happen. John Esposito -body, paint and assembly; Scott Hendry - 2.9 twin plug engine build; George Balonian - impeccable new interior; probably lots of other folks contributing behind the scenes. Should be a great event. Here's a teaser of the car with John and his crew.

    I wanted to share this with the readers of this thread:
    I received this email today from Scott Hendry…note that I am not one of the builders/contributors..just a guy lucky enough to be a friend of Roger

    I really hope the October 4th event is as BIG as it deserves to be


    Dear Contributors to Roger's car:

    Here you all are, I think - if I've missed anyone, please let me know!

    We showed the car to Roger for the first time yesterday - and he was in tears with gratitude!

    He absolutely loved it! So a big thank you to all of you! And we hope to see you all here on Sat Oct 4th for our gathering (Open House) to be with Roger! It's 10:00am to 2:00pm Sat Oct 4th. If you can, please come and celebrate with Roger and friends!

    And my heartfelt thanks to all of you for participating to help our special friend!

    Scott Hendry
