Stenod doing what Stenod does... I was fine with black head rivets but Joe insisted on drilling and tapping every friggin hole! What can I say except you da man! Oh ya, the chute cables were purple so he also shrunk wrapped the entire cable to make sure it matched!!








Mounted the batteries and ran a few cables. Loved working with the awesome flexible cables and cool ends.

This has to be one of the nicest race cars ever built, the attention to detail and the cut no corners mentality shows on every nut and bolt on the car. Congrads on such an awesome car that looks like show and goes like whoa ! Hope to see it run at Orlando or Bradenton when its done.

From what I could tell looking at the pics it was a hard top car to begin with. It appears they cut the upper rails and roof skin off to make it easier to work on the cage.

The car was originally a t-top car. I purchased a hard top from a local dealer and the door seals used here on tech. The cross brace to support the roof was fabbed out of sheet metal.

The interior is getting done this week. I will have custom light weight carpet, leather and suede seat covers, a custom headliner and a leather wrapped dash. Even the steering wheel is a momo suede f1 wheel.

Weight is far from an issue at this point. It is called ballast!
