wow that is gona be lgith, are you gonna have a track racer w/ no interrior, or an Infini style little sound deadening yet plush interrior? Make it a light powerful Daily D with a full interrior minus the absolutely uneccesary stuff. Great looking project car.

Your project looks great. Mine is in progress and I plan on a dual feed fuel system also.
What side is your regulator on, inlet or outlet? Does it matter?

Looks good so far.

I'm a fan of filling in the moulding.
The best way is to use this liquid metal stuff that is similiar to JB Weld. Doesn't crack and is somewhat flexible. Welding in some sheet metal is not a god idea as the door will warp really bad.

You should also fill in the trim along the bumpers like I have. They make a liquid polyeurathane that is used as filler and will remain flexible.

RX-heven, do you have a write up or at least shopping list for how you filled in your moulding.
