I spent about 5 hours adjusting and trimming the door, got the latch and inside handle and factory outside one to work. Lots of test fitting, will have to come up with something on the striker as it’s about 2” sort in the jam to reach the latch. I would like to get the doors wrapped up next week so I can start on the front end. Finally talked with VFN and they started on the hood this week, prob won’t see that before Christmas tho.

I got the QA1 Carbon shaft ordered up and on the way, just that and pluming the brakes holding the car back from rolling under its own power!! Hoping to pull the motor and paint and engine bay before that but will see.

After this long of a wait I just had to do a little burnout!! The car needs some tune work but you can already tell it’s SUPER strong!!

that's reaching a little bit there, but the videos don't do the car justice!! I have to get it back to the fab guy so he can weld the front clip on and do the side windows.

This car is a well thought out and built work of art. So much attention to detail it's just amazing. This car is going to be stupid fast for sure, especially with a 500 shot. Holey ****. Lol Would love to be at the track when your there with a pocket full of money to bet with.

Well its been awhile since I have posted an update, nothing too exciting but got the bottle heaters and purge kits wired up. This next two weeks Im looking to finish the wiring and get it back to the chassis shop so they ca mount the front clip. Then we can finally get some paint on this thing!


Here’s a little line lock test, was not expecting it to rev this quick but I saw 8300+ rpms flash on the dash before knew it. The car just has a base start up tune and is running really rich, that’s the popping you can hear.
