Your plan is getting pretty close then isnt it. I like the wide body, and can am styling like was seen on some of the Greenwood cars.

There is a method to my madness...

The mirror build is at the end of the list... I was thinking a 7075 alu CNC'd plate to hold the top part of a sport mirror with tabs to mount some 1/4 rod ends... some 6061 tube and matching rod ends with some CNC'd pieces to mont to the door Kinda like your spoiler turnbuckles... Maybe I can just turn some extra long turnbuckles on the lathe...

I can make a few sets as easy as I can make one...

Ideas/drawings?

Mark, I haven't heard you talk about dumping the MEFI yet. If that is not on your list,.....it will be. Don't worry, I am running the point on that one. Hope to have an Accel Gen VII installed before the winter is gone.

Been lurking...

Ive got a new valve train ready to go and I would like to get a bigger Throttle body but without the ability to tune the fuel maps I'm kinda stuck...

I've got to finish the driveline and interior and rewire the whole car this spring...
