Thanks Scott, we have just thrown great parts at it to try and make a good driving well handling car. It is has been refreshing to just use off the shelf parts. It is by no means the nicest or the most though out car we have worked on but it is just a low bling hopefully light weight fun car to not be scared to have fun in.

If you think this car is cool wait till you see our tri-5 chassis test car that we hope to have the chassis for at Pleasanton next month. We plan to use a lot of light weight drag race parts on this car to really set it off and make it even cooler.

Thanks for the compliments once again. We should have more to see later this week.

Progess


The door got to get blaster and primered next week. It looks like we will paint it Orange and just riddle it with stickers.



We had this old valance just laying around from an Old "ALMOST" forgotten project with really cool taillights and decided to give it a try to see what we like and what we don't...hhhmmmm
...... Aluminum or Carbon or Carbon with aluminum vents....

Tyler can I use a sharpie on you fancy Valance? Please

Rodger;Look's great. Just make sure those door gap's are spot on.Or you will have the door gap police knocking on your door.Also it's been found though a major study that it will slow down your autocross times.They say it's the bad air moving over the large gap's and creating turbulence.I have my son Brandon put blue duct tape over my gap's once I gottin the car.I think it is helping.

I'm struggling just to put it together and not over build it with too many nice things. I just want it to look crazy bad ass in somebodies rear view mirror as this car that was a little dot on the horizon just seconds ago is a fire breathing monster in the rear view mirror. If I make it to nice then I will have to much respect for it.

Curiosity Question for you .....

The lower edge of the dash..Will that be a smooth or a sharp edge.Is there a possibility of your knees hitting this area in a mishap?

Love the work on the car so far

Cheers Joe
