I know its pretty simple, but there's just something about that rear sway bar that I really like. What can I say... I'm easy.

The design of the floor allowed us to give the car/boat a wide platform with out a lot of modification to the original floor. We are going to be making mounts to tie in a roll cage to the frame rails as well which will give it much more strength than just going to the floor.

I live on the coast for a reason. A boat make sense for a waterbound creature such as myself. My gills would dry out if I was inland like you guys:rofl:

I have a Mansion and a Yatch

You should powder coat it black. Painting the frame just isn't befitting of a car that could potentially have seats from a Ford GT.

I like the durability of powder coating, and having it done in black means it is easy to touch up with black paint without noticing very much. You know, for when you decide to weld some little bracket on at the last minute.

Really? You see something that hot and just don't want to ride it like a bucking bronco:_paranoid

Somebody is working on my car. Phil shot me some pics today. They are making some custom new torque boxes to mount the body to the frame. Of course they found some rust in a floorpan so I need to have some additional metal work done.

Looking good. Very jealous of that frame. I was checking a couple out at Goolsby Customs a couple weeks back. Man they are super nice chassis.
