    make sure to enclose the fuel cell, it will not fly that way at all. it has to be separated from the driver compartment completely.... with its own firewall....

    keep it up...

    We did. A good friend of mine is a welding instructor / structural inspector so not only is it pretty it could hold up a house. I will have more pics this week. Its roll cage time.

    Well I have not been slacking I will have picks up later today, Shift box complete and ready to go in for the final time. I have been working on the roll cage and had a small setback with the initial hoop placement due to being 6'3" but should have it sorted by the weekend

    Well it has been a long time but the car is back in the garage and being worked on. I took it to a friends chassis shop to hang the rear. He has more space and has built a lot of chassis before so I am sure it will be installed correct. I will keep updating pics.
