Dude I always wondered what you looked like after so many movies !!! Chopping it up. Hopefully this has a better outcome but where are the hot babes and cheesy music?

The front fenders were carbon fiber. After modification the fenders are still carbon, however the flares were hand fabbed out of aluminum.

It will resemble Franks 65' Fastback (Lower Image), however with a street tone to it. To lower the car is has been fairly easy. For the rar we used our MOD2 rear suspension and making new lower control arm brackets to account for the reduced ride height. This led into fabbing clearance for rear end and driveshaft. For the front we also used the same MOD2 front suspension that has been in the car and made new control arms and modified spindles

It is a delayed, sped up build. The car is already in Texas for the COTA USCA event.

Have fun this weekend with the new set up, Mike. I'll be sure and check in with the rest of the crew at the MiniNats...you know, make sure they're "working".
