Got the front half done and seam sealed. Gonna hold off until I get tuned to finish off the rear. Still not 100 % sure about what I'm going to do back there since I need a sealed door to access the fuel cell.

Anyhow, I guess this will do......... still not 100% sure that I like how it turned out. I left the front right and left sides un paneled because I wanted the crossmember accessible for when I get a roll bar, the roll bar will tie right into that. That won't be for awhile though....

You know what you should do is that you grab your stock panal form the back and trim them.So it dose not look so naked back there,nice work on tin work.

Cars came before mass transport was readily established, so there was an isolation of languages.

About 10 heavy duty alternators, and a gigantic capacitor to balance out the electrical pulsations, by the time you get done, your car will have 30 horsepower getting to the wheels, and will weigh as much as a Mustang! :P Oh and don't forget there won't be any room left for you to sit. But hey, you'll be the terror of the neighborhood, and even Soulja Boy will envy you--and with your hearing after such an upgrade, you won't have to listen to the wife complain about how you spend all your time in the garage working on your 7.

[edit] I wonder if the vibrations would be strong enough to travel through the suspension and cause the back tires to momentarily hop off the ground, that'd be cool!
