Ive been all about that car since the day it hit the magazines. Definitely one of my favorite builds of all time. I want this car to be the same kind of cool. I want it to scream B25 but in a way that nobody can dislike.

Same here! Another time though, do you go to Columbus at all?

Its just so hard to figure out where the line of too much is. I obviously want it to look like the B25 but I also want it to have timeless style. With that said I have not yet figured out how to cleanly incorporate the tail in a way to make it not so "in your face".

If I do I wont hesitate to share!

I hope you (and your awesome designer buddy) don't mind that I scribbled on your rendering. The more I look at it the more it feels like it needs a tail with nose and pinched brow. This may not even be close, just a thought.
Because a pictures worth at least 1000 words...

that very well may be the best version of a b25 tail ive seen for the car, however, I dont think that it goes with what I am trying to accomplish with the build. I appreciate your sketch though, it makes it road race looking for sure!

I think it takes away from the classic nature of the car thought. Mainly because I think it takes it from something that everyone can appreciate to something that a portion of people will look at as too much. I also dont want to lessen the impact of the nose and other details that it will have by taking your attention away from it.

Thanks for the input though. I love seeing others ideas!

Why not a rear diffuser with up turned "twin tails"?

Edit: so you only see it from the rear of the car. You have the classic nose, the side view, then get a full mitchell view from the a$$.

Good idea as well. Ill have to play around with that. The car is going to have a belly pan/diffuser I just haven't fully designed the tail end of the car yet.

Build looks great! I do have a fab question for you. What do you guys use to grind the welds down smooth? DA Sander? Flap disc?

Depends on what the weld is on, for the frame tube joints I used a 3" 80 grit to knock the weld off and then a 3" scotchbrite type disc to polish it off and blend it. Once done with that just a quick 150 DA scuff and thats it.
