Ok and now on to where we are at today. As of yesterday I had a rolling chassis. Ride height is a inch to high at 6.5"/165mm. I'm debating whether I should lower it.

Biggest concern is clearing the supercharger. But I'll either make a custom hood, or fabricate a new bracket for the supercharger so that it sits a bit lower.

Looks very nice indeed

Was about to say about the steering column being on the wrong side but its been said to death and its only the japanese and australians that listen

All seriousness very good work in such a short space of time look forward to seeing your progress
