I like your fab skills, but why did you exit the exhaust in front of the window, where you will be breathing in the fumes, rather than behind the window?
I just like that style, and it will be a track car where you are required to have your window up anyways.

Got some carpet for the car and started putting some of the interior in, trying to figure what I have and what's missing, also deciding what's actually going back in the car and what's staying out. Definitely need to pain all these tan pieces black.

try one of the rattle can wrinkle paints on your tan plastic panels....the more coats you put on the more it wrinkles, personal choice comes in to play as far as what you will like, so do a few trials before doing the whole panel. Also remember to spray horizontal/vertical/diagonal coats....

Drove about 6 hours total yesterday to pick up this 4" aluminum drive shaft for the car, just need to get a yoke and girdles and that will be crossed off the list.

does that mean they balanced it without a yoke?if so that's odd.
