Detail it later.  Make it run first.  You two are never going to finish in time for the Copperstate.

I know the title was given to somebody else a couple years ago, but I believe this one takes the cake.  This is too much detail.  Daniel made all the brackets for the brakes and then drilled them with progressively smaller holes.  He shortened the shock towers.  Disassembled the calipers, ground them down and then had them powdercoated.  Tapered tierods too.  He's talking about taking it down to the bare pan again so he can color sand again.  Oh, and look at the bolts holding the beam to the pan.  Daniel put them into the lathe and cut a dish into the heads, just to be different.  Then polished them.  He's never gonna get it done.

Fabbed floorpans and a raised trans.  The rollbar bolt in and out.  More things I can't even remember.

I'll echo the comment that it would be sad to cover up all that work with a body.
