The latest coupe

[$hawn]

I finally decided to build a car for the track. For too long I've been trying to go fast :roll: with a street car. This time it's gonna be light, safe, and hopefully look good. here are some misc pictures of what it looked like when i picked it up till how it sits today.

I'll keep posting some new pix as work gets done.

FINALLY got around to putting the cage in. Just a basic 10pt. Don't know what color to paint it, hammered silver or black? Next is to mock up the I/C piping.
