I would like to say a Great Big Thank You to all the people on this site as well as people that have given their $.02, encouragement, feed back, ideas and helpful hints along the way. This site truly is a wealth of knowledge. It has been 9 years of blood, sweat and tears into this project and I couldn't have done it without you fine people. It's still not finished but I am on the down hill side. So If you see me around town or in the desert, Please stop and say hello. Thank You All.
So here's what I started with...
Here it is as of Today...
I will do my best to post videos, dyno runs or an thing else that might interest the masses. Again Thank You All! |

For Sure! As soon as they become avail. The video on the street was the first couple of days of it running. I've been working out small issues like clutch adjustments & bigger brakes in the front. Dyno video and desert runs are not far behind.  |

I watched early construction of this car in SoCal Bajas. Glad to see it on the roads and trails.
