No not stainless, I wish it was but just can't pay the bill. Yes its nice with bare frame !

Ended up doing an H-Pipe in the exhaust

Just trying video post didn't work

few pics for update.
Got the body back on the chassis today.

one thing for sure is I have plenty of room for the engine

Had to do some trimming to get it back down on the frame. This I did not see coming when I put the suspension parts in place, its no big deal though just a bit of sheet metal work.


Trans tunnel needed to be cut out just a little bit.

I picked up 4 donut wheels at the junk yard for $70. Cut the flat tires off and now I have shop wheels for this project.

Progress!! Thanks for the update pics!

It's going to be a very cool car.

More sheet metal work. driveshaft tunnel and floor bracing. also the tubes will be the base for seats.

That looks good, should stiffen it up too.

I agree that is coming along nicely.

More progress today , brakes were todays project
Got some holes drilled and mocked things up. Next will be proper bracing of firewall to support the MC/Booster set up.

Found some seat on Face Book Market Place $25 each. started install today.

ok here's the latest thing I've been working on or thinking about. Center consol with cup holders GPS etc. Made a cardboard mockup to get an idea of what might work and how it would look.

Here's a few pic's of the console as it goes from cardboard to aluminum and mock up wood. Still need to do the rivets, what you see are Cleco's holding it all together. Using some of my aircraft building skills to make this one.
ok no pic's pic's because the Dumb sob's at photo bucket have totally screwed up the process to post picks. I quit !

I know you always do such nice work. So I guess we'll wait 'til you sort out the pic thingy...

Ok I think I figured it out, techy changes aren't good for me.
