THANK YOU everyone, can't believe everyone likes it so much. My buddy and I have put our heart and sole into this thing over the last 2.5 years.
We are currently hacking up the seats to build and weld up the the brackets to get them mounted. We are also working on getting the fuel system plumbed. Finish running the air lines, (the back is bagged). I'm gonna have two -8AN lines coming out the back of the FuelKeg and running into the body to the fuel pump.
I'm not going to run any gauges they are going to be running on a windows 8 tablet running tuner studio. See pic below.
There will also be no switches, all relays / engine start will be controlled from an iPad mini via a custom iOS app I wrote / micro controller. I'm hoping to sell these for a fair price once I get all the kinks worked out. See attached screen shot of demo app running on my iPhone.
Anyways I'm a big gear head / nerd so this car isn't exactly going to be a true rat rod or hot rod, I'm not really sure what to call it but its def different.
Close Up Of Radiator AN Lines (my first time TIG welding aluminum total PITA)
Drive Shaft Tunnel
Motor Shot
Windows8Tablet (that's my buddy Wes he's an old fart, I'm 26) haha
iOS App Soon To Be On My iPad (I custom wrote this app myself and controller)
Panoramic Shot Before It Got Moved To MO So My Buddy Wesley Can Wire Her (He's an electrician by trade, I am not ha), My JUNK was laying everywhere

Sick crazy combo! At least prime the body, I bet Dave F at Hot Rod will go nuts over the car. When you get it closer, email me some pics and I'll forward some to him

That is so awesome. I am planning the same with the iPad although I can't write the program but know people who can. Would be interested in the finished product.
What size fittings did you use on the water pump, look like -16?
