Thanks, I'm hoping that it'll perform well too.

I can't wait to test its metal on an autocross circuit. Then I'll truly trust the chassis. Figure thats the safest way to watch this thing fail. LOL



All I have left is to make a moon roof, readdress the starter, readdress the alternator, get and wire lights, fix the left rear wheel bearing, set the ride height, and rebuild the engine.

OK, some minor tasks. We expect it to be running until Sylvester 2025.

LOL

That list got longer as I thought about it.

- fit the shifter nob.
- respray the bumper and some odds and n's
- make plexi windows and the plexi firewall
- remake the intake manifold
- make an air filter box
- felt cover the roll bar covers
- cover the steering wheel (its grey and doesn't match the tan look)
- mount and wire the backup camera


Lots of other parts that were questionable before need to be purchased and installed. Seat belts, E-brake, master cylinder, etc...


I'm still hopeful I'll have it street worthy by years end. Money is kind of the problem now. I kinda overspent on the paint and body pieces, but they look nice

I've been negligent in my updates here.... Sorry.






Powder coated wheels "bronze". The package stated its bronze, but I'm seeing brown.



The oven I got was not big enough so I made it big enough. LOL






Made a carbon fiber moon roof. Well, I'm learning, but still need a few more trys to make it good. This will do for now.













I made windows and improved the interior. I covered the roll bar pieces.











Finally I reinstalled the engine/trans.
