Car looks great!

You can gut the doors alot more than you have - instead of swiss cheesing them just completely cut out that front area. I have done this on my racecar doors.

You can kind of see it to the left here:

The FC suspension does not really 'work' properly when you have the car at a point where it is lower than the control arms being parallel to the ground. You can do it but need to run very high spring rates to prevent roll/bind, or lower the spindles.

looks good!

just wondering about the diagonal bar, it should be coming from the drivers head to the passenger floor.

as it is now, it would be protecting the passenger more so than the driver.

Not that it's "really" going to matter (since you aren't planning on running a "pro sanctioned" event that tech would matter) just my attention to detail i guess.

cage looks really cool, just wanted to bring your attention to that if you had maybe missed it.

i'm looking forward to seeing another FC out on the track!

No one uses plexiglass as it is somewhat brittle. You must be thinking of polycarbonate.
