Very cleanly done, looking forward to the on track videos.

Nice job! Revs easily and sounds healthy. I really like that cold air intake.

needs some bigger tires up front. wonder about those offsets
clicking probably just a lifter that doesn't pump up enough until hot.
need to get that fan on a real relay, that is actuated by the stock radiator heat sensor switch. if you want to have a manual over ride, fine, but having it purely manual is a problem waiting to happen. Plus, you don't want those things running all the time, the car can run pretty cool at the track as mine does with nothing infront of the radiator.
looks like a fun simple car to DE with.
don't know If I like that harness bar though..... I guess if its welded to the sides with good welds its safe... should just bolt in a roll bar anyway. no reason not too, as you need the chassis stiffness for the track, especially with sticky tires. you , or purchaser could get a nice minimal cage for about $1500.
Nice car!

Front tires already rub (slightly when turning) since the car is lowered. Need to flare the fronts in order to have larger tires.
Yes - the oil pressure drops when its cold but once its warm the oil pressure is solid and no more ticking.
I run Valvoline Racing Oil BTW Why would the fab only being a manual toggle be a problem waiting to happen? Just curious as to why. Being AZ is warm - I like the ability to turn the fan on - on demand. Mainly for piece of mind.
Harness bar is welded in clean and strong.
If I keep the car then a full cage will be installed by Flatout Motorworx - AZ http://602flatout.com/
Hopefully Leroy can incorporate the harness bar into the roll cage.
Its a fun simple car that moves pretty well. At 2.6k lbs it does have the power to weight advantage - Not so much once a Roll Cage is installed but she will still be way under 3K Lbs.
Thanks for commenting! Much appreciated.

but ...... I cant take all the credit for it. It took 5/6 of us one Saturday afternoon to strip it out. We used Beer - Pizza and a High Temp - High Pressure washer. Dan Warner from Exotic did the rest ... Rich9928 - RedUFO and a few others helped out.yes RedUFO is still alive and well!
