Well you guys can drool over the resirvoir and the shocks for 2 weeks. I'm going to Hawaii.

I'll drool over the headlights and the 79deg water temp in Hawaii.

The is to not our run the headlights at night. I think will be fine with these.

That reservoir give it some racing pedigree

I figured I would give you guys the latest update on what we have going. We have been slamming on all the details. We have the plumbing installed and have the exhaust built back to the fuel tank. I'm waiting on the Rick's Tank they custom built for this new chassis for us. It will bolt right in.


We are raising the drive shaft tunnel to clear the drive shaft at this ride height. This is how you know are cars sit like they should, LOW.


We installed the LED headlights that we sell in the car.


We set up the rear axle housing with the Standard equipment GMR housing we use.


We are in the middle of modifying the front inner fenders for our ride height and added tire width. We are only running a 295 front tire and the tire combo we have selected in a matched set.



Here is the latest progress on the dash. We have completed the back side of dash number 1. And getting ready to machine the front side.



Should be alot more to come as we get ready for the Grand National Roadster show.

Damn!! That dash is beautiful as it sits not even finished. I can only fathom what it will look like upon completion.

That dash is way cool. So this car will be at GNRS then? Would love to see it in person.

We are displaying the car as a fabrication piece to show what sets our work above the others and to show the work that is needed to install our frames under a car for the results you get with our product.

Plus some vendors were a little slow on their parts, so we were not going to be able to make the deadline as a completed car and we decided it was not worth the final push. We made some drastic changes in the final hours to push the envelope a bit.
