Looking good Ron, maybe if you weren't working on so many projects at once you could finish one of them

This stuff keeps falling into my lap, I haven't gone looking for one of these projects, hell I've been offered several that I turned down, but yeah I'm in it. Like I said before, I need a check up from the neck up!

I still think the right profile of wind and end plates with a diffuser could really add to what you've got going.......just say'in.

I agree with the wing, and already have some ideas in the works. I still don't see how I could make a rear diffuser fit with the exhaust and fuel tank taking up so much space in the back. I really need to make some time to work on this thing, 30 min. at a clip just aint making it.

The tank and it's frame are definitely a challenge. A pair of larger (thicker) veins to accommodate the frame rails with two smaller inside and one on each outboard side would accomplish "the look."

Exhaust can be dumped through it with tight clearance if it's done in sheet metal?

What you've accomplished is very impressive considering how tight the space is in comparison to most cars. From another perspective it's quite spacious compared to F1 engineering.

Keep it fun!

Just do a raised floor in the back for the tank. Do like a mustang tank that drop right on in.

The trunk lid barely closes now because of the size of the tank, and it hangs out the bottom more then I'd like. The pics don't really show how space deficient this thing really is. No wasted space though, I'm using about every inch inside the sheet metal, and bulging the sheet metal where needed. LOL
