Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I like the track -- very scenic. I'm diggin' the Studebaker. Reminds me of an Impala SS I saw at a Porsche club track day. Looked like a whale among guppies.

Pictures of the build-up of Mikael's Rx-7
BTW, Mohlin sold the car to a guy in Norway, I'm crossing my fingers he will make it to the Danish racetracks in 2007

It has to be all custom. It is to low to use stock strut towers and stuff. All the suspension is also custom ( I would think)
