Guns, with all the info on your car I've read, I can't remember if you have a new target completion date yet?

June of 2008 she'll be rollin' onto a trailer for that year's cannonball event. The bodywork time line is around December time frame.

Default Progress

The drip rails were removed and will be replicated out of steel and be welded to the body for seamlessness. The front end was cut off but they left some room forward of the strut towers just in case.

These pics will be up on the site shortly, Lynn sent me about 30 pics which will be up on the site, but for now here are some of the main ones:

Rear with the "meats"

Wiiiiide Tires

Chillin on the lift

Front shot showing the little pieces of aluminum being welded to the firewall etc to smooth the look.

Close up

Interior - the dash is gone!!!

Rear of the interior...still much that needs to be done


More of the front


Blocked AC hole

Highrider...rides a little higher...(haha)

Good stuff!

On your website: you should make the top banner smaller. Viewing the site with a maximized window running 1280x1024 res the top banner is so tall that when I open the larger pictures I am only able to see half of them because of the top banner.
But its just a suggestion.

Wow awesome project guns, It really begins now.

Newb question, but where does the break fluid reservoir go?
Inside the car to keep it cooler?

And also i'm guessing no more break booster////?

Looks awesome Gabe! Certainly some big progress there. Jakery, you use less of a heel/toe, and more of a ball of the foot on that setup.
