I thought the cat was the helper.
Curves are cool. Great lines.
Very well done.

The shop cat can kill a man with one slash and grab.

He's a male that still has his balls. He's already made the fiberglass area his bitch.

Smallest trunk ever. Enough room for a 10mm, visegrips, and a shop rag. This is the view without aluminum covers in place.
Front bulkhead for gas is now all aluminum.

The dash might get more metal flake than a bass boat at a fishing gear trade show. Maybe.

FUCK.........To imagine is one thing......to execute is a whole other thing....What I love is how you sweat the details that most folks wont see or get....That was always one of the most satisfying things for me at a show...You get a guy that just looks really close at the small stuff that was a pain in the ass to do that nobody else notices....and they look up at you and smile. And buddy, I smile every time I see your posts....

Well said AndK.
This build is great for the reasons you state.
No mediocrity here. And it is refreshing.
Genius. The first thread I check when I log in.
