Thanks Steve and Jim. Looking forward to hearing comments, good and bad.
I did a bunch of temporary parts making today. Temporary trailing arms to locate the rearend and 2X3 tubing blocks to hold the back of the car off of the tires. I have it at what I feel will be the final body height. I also made a temporary tie rod so I can steer the car while rolling it around. So it is now sitting on the ground ready to go onto the trailer this weekend. This is a pic of it now.



I'm going to spend the rest of the week planning and cutting the firewall now. I threw the front bucket seat in and it looks like it will be sitting in the rear footwell. I'm thinking of building a complete one off custom dash for the car. WE SHALL SEE!!! Mark L

That thing looks like an animal! It would even better with a roots IMO. Still, it will be a scary ride for sure! Looking forward to match racing you with my AWB Tempest one day.
I can see side by side wheels up launches just like from the mid 60s.
