we may go to one or two local outtings/gatherings..but beyond that...the $ can be better spent

Wow... that'* is insane. You did a damn good job too. This also inspired me... I've always wanted to do up a car with twin engines. Hey, once you get it finished and if you're ever in the Central Florida area, let me know and we'll hit up the Bithlo 1/4 mile strip.

believe it or not but they are actually lighter than the chrome plastic/aluminum GAGT rims from his wifes car...we'll probably end up stripping em and polishing them...but we have more important things to do...
i wish i had saved the pic of the GP with the cutty disk rims...doesnt look all that bad

so soon we pick up the last of the major stuff to assemble and cram in the SII 3800 into the front...then we just need a regal harness and pcm...
but this is the new stuff we just got done with (still in primer)
from this:
to this:
and the passenger side
she'* looking purdy...BTW the drivers side inner wheel well was made from 25 pieces of sheetmetal welded together and ground down with a thin coat of bondo to smooth it out perfectly...just some more work with the glazing putty and they will be ready for final paint
i know it'* not a performance mod, but it definatly makes it look alot nicer, and keeps with the cars asymetrical look
sorry about the crappy digi pics...

hooly crap dude
that thing is coming along nicely
it'* lookin better and better..
i'm glad to see it'* no more open wheel wells, i noticed that at the show last year and was thinking 'what'* he gonna do when something flys up in there and does something w/ the engine'
so what'* your insurance person think of this car? or do they even know?

Looks better each time you post pics man. Cant wait to see some track times. Eric, I think this is one of those things you forget to tell the Insurance company.
