    Well, they're in well over a year's worth of work already, I can see another year's worth to completion, easily.

    How does one contact Ralph the Wonder Llama. I'd like to discuss a project he'd be horrid for.

    I'm pretty sure that they will put a cage in it. I remember a part where they were fitting out the floor where they put in much thicker steel and gussets to prepare a strong flat surface for a cage.

    I have a question for you Richard, where's the radiator going to go?

    Now that you've closed in the back it can't go there, and there's no room in the front......about all that's left are some small rads ala F1 in the front fenders (and I really don't see any room there either) or the roof - the only original panel left on the whole car!

    ^^^^ yup projects like this take a lot of time and patience because you have to figure it all out while you are building it.

    It's not like they can go to You Tube and watch a "how to" video. :lol:

    Plus they are building it from the ground up and only have a mini shell to build within. I like how everything has been replaced, reinforced and built to last long after the project is done.

    I wonder what the final color of the car will be....:idea: Chili Red. :ihih::Thumbsup:
