Never did as the Quickfuel carb did awesome, BUT smelling like fuel all the time got old, so I'll go FI this time around. You'd think they'd run two lines if FI was selected as an option. I'll be sure to ask and I had planned to upgrade to the larger radiator as well as aluminum fuel tank. Not sure about a plastic one? Are the hard lines Nicopp or SS?

I'm surprised you had body issues if it had already been to paint? I'll be sure to check that out as well when the time comes. I'm close enough to their headquarters, so should be able to see it before it ships.

I like the coil overs and I never had power brakes, only steering, so should be an improvement. Thanks again for the feedback. Very helpful.
The fuel line is Ni-Cop.

Plastic fuel tanks are fine. Millions of cars have them without any problems.

Definitely go with the upgraded cooling. The cooling system can't ever be big enough.

Overall fit and finish is not very good. A few small errors in the paint here and there. But body parts don't fit quite like they should, so you end up with a lot of rub marks. There's a huge gap between the trunk and the rear deck. It requires two layers of weatherstripping to close it up.
