    What a curveball !! Not in the attention to details, which are always phenomenal, but in what areas were chosen. Never ever would have guessed front crush zone and door mechanisms plus the teaser of air conditioning. As always I cannot wait for the next installment for viewing !!

    ^^^^ 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:
