I have no idea if you can upload to here from your phone. But if you have a photobucket account you can upload from your phone to there. Then just use the web on your phone to post here.

Well thanks for the compliment but anyone could do this with the right tools
I'll post more pics tomorrow as I'm doing some work on it tonight (window net and more tube gussets )

killer work. also pretty cool your lady gets involved in any way. mine refuses to have anything to do with car stuff

quick question, your early pics are in a stick-built garage and the most recent are in a metal-pre-fab building. did you change venues or have something built? I'm pricing out a new garage since mine is literally falling over.

Minor updates
Chassis finally painted
Fitting carbon tubs and rear diffuser
The last pic is from inside the 1/4 panel
The yellow is the inside Kevlar layer of the tub
Thanks for being patient

Picking away at it
Both tubs fitted
Now time to bond them in
Hope to make some good progress over the next bit
Get the car out for some test hits with the NA motor to debug the chassis
Thanks for looking

Well,
I've been working on this project for a friend for almost 2 decades now
He has went through many life changing experiences and has held on to this little chevy 2
He called me the other day and said that he has lost interest in the car and for me to arrange the sale of it and all its parts
Still trying to figure out the best plan of attack on this one as there is a small fortune invested
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Beaudacious
