I love the tutorials on how your updating everything, I do the same thing. This helps people understand normal people like us can build cool cars at home if they can't afford a big name shop.

The current project is the "next phase" for me. It's most of the things I said "next time the car's apart".
I build cars for others so I might not be quite as "normal" as my thread might appear because I usually keep other peoples projects, parts, etc. out of pics. I think the only car I've done for a member here was a 69 Camaro a couple years ago. While his car went from shell to complete in a year or so my car is still apart, like a plumber with a dripping faucet ahahaha.
I had a customer ship down a car almost just like mine a couple weeks ago. It was here for a complete suspension swap, steering replacement, body mounts, frame connectors etc. He wanted me to drive it for a couple hundred miles before shipping it back and was nice enough to give me permission to do some aero testing with it. As you'll see later in the thread my car's getting quite a bit of aero work so testing with his car gave me a good baseline since it's the same ride height, tires, etc. but with the stock body.
Everyone likes pics so here's a couple of those cars then I'll get back to bringing my thread up to date.
