The rear is pretty well shaped.


I decided to chop the front end off and reshape it because I wasn't quite happy with a few spots in the nose and fenders.


The new sections are coming together.

Chris,

Thanks for the update. I was wondering about your progress the other day. Am stunned to see you have a 'driver'!

Well done!
Thank you

The car should weigh in at 950lbs, add me and we'll be just over 1100lbs.

The current FVee motor installed is putting out about 68HP.

The stroker engine I'm building will be around 98HP, If I turbo it (which could happen) it could put out closer to 120HP.

Clearly, you either need to lose some weight or hire a jockey
