The patina look is in, and I'm loving it!

As we forge on with this ambitious build, every installment showcases Carl B.’s broad range of skill sets, especially his ability to master electronics. Before we jump into today, if you missed any previous episodes for Carl’s 10-second turbo build, (or need a review), here are the links: part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six, part seven, part eight, and part nine. Each episode is a quick read, with lots of pictures, with episodes two and three featuring some cool videos.

Viewer Advisory: This build has some serious meat on the bones, as Carl has some crazy technical skills (especially with electronics), and he is going to tap into all of them to turn his 1977 Stingray into a 10-second quarter-mile monster!
