Flares worked into the fenders are ALWAYS > ricey wide body kits! UBER-

BTW; you should keep a few of those thick moving blankets handy to protect the Lotus' paint when the ice bombs fall from the sky.

Well this project alone persuaded me to sign on to this forum. When I first saw pictures of the beginning. My initial outlook was that you did not plan this out at all. And you would be one of many projects that have seen over my time as an auto enthusiast, that started out as a good idea, but become a ghost in some metal scrap yard somewhere. But as the pictures progress, I've come to realize that you have alot of talent and you could possible complete this project even without proper planning. But in a "find a soultion when a problem arises" fashion. Your ability to fabricate around the problem impresses me. With that said, I have some questions.

Did you plan this out from the beginning?
What are steering solutions (I'd like pictures of this if possible)?
What is the deal with the interior, is that brace really going through the seat or does just appear that way?
Is this going to be a street going car?
Will is pass state inspection/emissions?
What needs to be done to make is pass state inspection/emissions?
