Have to say, just an amazing job you're doing. Subbed some time ago, just reread it from the beginning. Great progress. I'm going to borrow some of your ideas..

Totally stealing your DIY vented hood idea my good sir

I remember seeing this build first surface on here a few years ago. Really glad you stayed with it and good luck with the rest dude.

He hasn't visited since 18 months ago. Which is a shame because this was one of the best builds on the forum and we never saw the end result. Might be better to go to his profile and try to email him.

Those weren't even on FB the other day. Seemed like it was still in progress.

I need him to build me a pair of those front fenders

I just re-read this thread from the beginning. For the third time. Man, this is simply impressive.


The one thing I missed was any reference to the differential. With the history of problems it has had, I'd like to know how he's handling the only part that might be a weak link..
