No major roost this year for ya , Carl. I do believe it will be a complete roller less body ,wiring and plumbing by then tho. Have been side tracked with new house lately. Not enough time in the day ya know. Yep,a sand limo this car is not. I kind of equate it to a 2 seat outlaw sprint car. Gonna be fun for sure.

Well,got fuel cell can roughed in. Need to get it to the rotomolders to get it nylon lined.Add a few fittings and it's done. Notice how the headers will need to route. Not as bad as it may look but the icengineworks header modeling "legos "will make it a snap. Already used it to model the radiator hard line around a couple obstructions.

   Next is a pic from the drivers POV. Notice how close I can see in front of car and it is sitting at full droop height. Ds mentioned line of sight in another thread and I learned my lesson on the blue busa buggy about that. This onehas much better visibility.

   Next is one just because I like it .  rofl rofl rofl rofl

I like the shock tower braces in the front and the profile pic. the headers will turn out nice hope there not too loud up there.

WIth the full body on it will still have excellent visibility to the front and sides. For a while I was hating the profile with the original front shock towers. These are much better and as the rest of the parts are going on it is becoming what I had seen in my minds eye.One is the dry sump reservoir for the engine and the other is the sump tank for the torque converter. As for the headers.......huh??? I can't hear you..................

Damn Carl,you're sharp this morning. LOL!!!!! Ya,rubber hoses are not too good for long runs. I used the header modeling stuff I have to do it. Sure is nice to cut once and weld. I didn't have to tweak a single piece.
