Zipped tied fire extingusher, brake lines all over the place, no cross bar over the legs, no helmet bars, exposed bolt ends holding the rear end in place, front roll bar hoop must be continues(1pc) and not 2 pcs welded to the cut off cage uprights   How am I doing so far???

Roger:
It’s hot and humid on the plains of Kansas this evening so I’m not going out anywhere. Now since I have the time, let me address your question Bruce: “How am I doing so far???”.  Well, when Jay shared his cowl project with us all you could muster with your first reply was “so much wrong, I really don’t know where to begin”. Nothing more, just a snide comment with absolutely no intrinsic value.

Now it appears you’ve had a few days to think about it and decided you found a starting point to begin, the result being you proceeded to take a huge crap on the man’s car. And coming from a big fella as yourself it was an extremely large load. In the end you still didn’t comment on his cowl or ask any further questions of inquiry concerning his project. Most of us here are trying to support one another in a positive and constructive manner, but on occasion there are some here that appear to be the south end of a heifer that’s headed north.

Probably gonna get banned for this but here goes...

Pretty much as expected, like the biggest douche bag in drag racing.  The car is clearly a work in progress with the work being done by the owner(s).  They'll do the best they can and I'm sure all that stuff will be fixed to tech and chassis cert specs before it makes a pass.  They'll probably also put cylinder heads on it before they try to run it.

 You seem to lack the understanding that not everybody does everything like you, especially  home builders.  Sometimes they make things just so they can work on the car.  Those parts may not be on the finished product and they're learning every step of the way.  I'm willing to bet that they know about all the items you mentioned and are just trying to work out the process of getting it done.  Not an easy thing if you've never done it or had somebody show you how to do it.  These poor guys were just trying to show other people an idea they had in case somebody else might think it was interesting.

Seems to me a couple years ago you made a post about leaving this site.  No one begged you to stay and a couple people said don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.  But I'm sure you were always lurking, frothing at the mouth about the horrors you were seeing and needed to comment on but held your tongue until one day you couldn't take it anymore and you came back.  I'm sure the collective membership moaned when they saw you were back.  Why don't you do everybody a favor and go away again.

Thats ME Number one AZZHAT on this sight

   To all you enablers out there,
     No comment own the cowel BECAUSE--- 1, it was not finished, should an attaboy be given because he could bend alu?  Obviously has run the car before as it was, so your "work in progress" falls short at this time with the areas I singled out.  I was too big to get in and out of my first car without body removal, Tech had a real issue with me on that.
   Many years of Teching cars and knowing the rules, you know , those little printed words in a book that tells you what you can and cannot do before you can drive the car down the race track  that were written in because somebody got hurt or died for a rule not in place. Ive scene seat belts with bolts thru the straps holding them in, plumbers tape securing the batteries and fuel tanks, and yes zip-ties for the fire bottle and weights, favorite was the ripped upped firesuit  held together with gray tape.
  For shock value I can be critical and down right a prick in the manner in which I express my concerns--- Im not your mommy
  IF his track (outlaw) and the people doing the tech allow the car to run-- its on them, they are the ones, in the end, who are responseable because they signed off
  Sorry to the OP if my comments hurt your feelings, I know some people try and do the best they can with whatever they have available. but I am not an enabler
