pushed the car outside the other day and let it run for a little bit. The car sounds even better outside, spent some time cutting more of the roof out yesterday. The one piece front clip is finished and I’m hopping I have a chance this week.

I’m not sure, the scale wasn’t picking it up, it’s probably not the 50 lbs I was looking for but it’s a start.

Made a big step on the build today, other than a few touchups the cage is fully painted. I went with 02 GM Sebring silver for the cage, this should really standout with the blue! I’m going to be painting the floor and start the jams this weekend, can't wait to not have to look at this red anymore lol

Primer





Painted

Starting on finalizing the wiring, installed the fuel door charging port.




I had to push the car outside so I could move some cars around the shop, I’m so happy with the color can’t wait till the car is all painted.

It may be a non-issue but with the O2 sensor that close to the end of the exhaust you will see some air backflowing into the exhaust at idle, giving you a false lean condition.
