I already started to clean up all the wavy spot weld areas and straighten edges. Driver side is all cut as well. The tub on the driver is gonna be a bitch, with all the notching for the mc and clutch mc.


Gonna cut some cool strips of sheet metal to weld in the top arches and make it water tight.

oh yea if i could afford it i would. makes the bay look alot better. it deff crossed my mind as i was mocking up the rear tubs.

but yea my brakes are legit right now, no need to fix sumthin that isnt broken. right now the goal is to throw the fuel pump in and some -8 lines to the rails, then -8 return from the fpr. tune it and grab some new tires for the 12.5's. then hit NASA at Wild Horse Pass for HPDE and drift...

so yea overtime and ****

Definitely going to need some closer pics and daytime pics. What color is it?

How many times have you painted your FC now?

Spent lots of time fixing the busted bumpers. And painted all last minute. I sprayed the chassis one day, fenders another. I had some dark gold pearl that I almost threw in the clear. Tri coat can be a bitch to replicate when new bumpers/fenders go on though

But yea the color choice was the longest decision I ever had to make.

I feel you on this. It took me a long time to end up with mint. I had a color very similar to what you ended up with on the short list though.

Got any other shots of this in direct sunlight?

Why did you decide to flare your rear overs instead of just widening them to enclose the entire tire? Seems like they'd shatter if you hit a bump.
