Really looking good now Dave!


I'm going to have to build a new race car to keep up with the lap times you're going to lay down in your street car! LOL

The belly pan (like a lot of cool fab) doesn't always get to be enjoyed due to being hidden once the car is assembed. You know it's actually more of a skid plate here I guess but a small one is a must here and has been planned since the engine was built and dyno'd back in 2004.

A diffuser is very striking and obviously functional if done right (really dig Alcala's on his Mustang) and that may be something added to Jim's punchlist before it leaves NC.

Well we were planning on doing 2x4 and 4x4 tubing but then Chad called it a tank so I got sensitive and self-conscious and we cut that down to 1x2.

Gwen, is that you? Surely Greg would not say such positive things in this thread.

I'll be chasing Payton anyway.... so you should target him first.

That's not fair, Greg. This car has traveled many miles over the last ten years. Not under it's own power, but that's progress?
