Below are a few pics of the car now that I have reached the "roller" milestone of the build. I have 99% of the aluminum panels drilled and test fitted to attach as needed. I need to flare a few brake line ends and begin prep work on the engine.

A special thanks to Todd Simpson and Dave Walk for their help with the build. Words can not describe the amount of fun I am having building this car.

Eventhough almost all of my aluminum panel work is complete I wanted to take pictures of frame before it is covered.

The tires and wheels are just for moving the car around until my FR500's arrive. I will be running 245/45/17's in front and 315/35/17's in the rear.

Take care,

Very Very Cool. Just needs the motor, i would skip the body work for better cooling.

Consider flipping the bearing closest to the steering wheel. This locates the set screws on the steering wheel side and is more accessable after the build is complete. Ask me how I know, it is not fun sitting in the seat with your head down and trying to find a set screw behind the square tube by feel only. Not a safety issue since the set screw collar is part of the bearing assembly. Do you have the two belleville springs in the steering shaft assembly? Just checking, since I have had my steering wheel out twice, recently.
