Default 357ti is finished

The car is done, I don't even have words to praise the work or begin to thank my friend, the car's creator. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Road course, we hope to run it in the 25 hour Thunderhill Enduro next year. It goes to the dyno today for final tuning. Should get it out at Pacific Raceways next week.

Did you create your own mounts and LTs? If so will you or your friend be selling copies?

Very interesting swap.
