Here you go.

 

Had my son record this 10 minutes ago - just coming into the driveway, but you can still crank up the sound.

some of my older stuff...

 

first drive with the LS1 - but with tiny 225 tires.

some shots of destruction / construction

 

 

this is when I was really wondering if it'll be a car again

 

 

My roll bar is huge because my freaking fabricator is 6' 4"

Mazda,

 

Franklin 7 is looking good. Much different that when I saw it at the auto-x when I was back east. I like it much better now than then when you had the mouse on the trans console.

It is looking better than when I last saw it a year ago at Carlisle. I like the work you have done with the dash - that looks nicely finished. EVen the bonnet shape looks good in these shots.

 

What is you plan for the scuttle between the windscreen and back of the dash?

 

Maybe enlist Jon at Carlisle to clean the car with Windex like last year? Nice shiny paint job? :rofl:

Dammit, I had an Engineering meeting that lasted too long last night. Now I'm running late for work.

 

Must... find time... to watch videos!!!

lol.

 

I have to work on a cowl, but have not had time. Slammed with work for the next few months, so right now the hood is just riding on a temporary lip I have tacked in place. I also have to put sheetmetal to seal the tops of the footwells. Kinda toasty right now, but not too bad since the exhaust is totally outside the car, and it's not real hot out yet. SO MUCH to do

 

Plan for the height difference between dash and hood is to black out the windshield bottom - similar to what you see in production cars. There is a slight gap between the windshield and the dash - maybe 1/8" that I would probably seal with a piece of rubber.

 

Yeah, Jon's cleaning job was funny last year. His standards and skills are just way higher than mine.

Near the edges where the curve of the dash makes the gap bigger, there will be an aluminum piece covering that.

Videos were amazing. Spinning in 4th gear is cool.
