Now THAT is a hard car!
Just weld up those holes and paint it yourself!

thanks for the kind words!

yes, I narrowed the front axle slightly (two inches overall) only to make it work with the jatech drop spindles, they increased my track too much- so I had to do it...
tires are 145 michelin and M&H 6" slicks...

more pics and progress to come soon
