I wish I was still in SA, I would come by and see what you guys are all about...
We're here all the stinking time and my apartment is in the building as well so I leave for food, parts and girlfriend. I'd say just email me with 24 hours heads up just to make sure I'm our for those but more than likely I'll be here at least.

Do you think you will have any spooling issues with the rear mounted turbo and the 4.10 gears?
Nope, proven time and time again by STS Turbo

Simplifying it with subtle radius' that mirror grille and body lines might tie it all together. ???

Talk about a fun car to drive!
We're probably going to do a top as well to go over the cage. It'll probably help simplify things as well. Unfortunately I don't have access to a roll bender to do that subtle bend and even if we did it's probably not in the budget. And I kinda like the space age look to the cage. We'll see where the design takes me.

Thanks for all the input.
