Very "swoop" I like it.  Has an TV Tommy Ivo vibe to it.

Finally got rear piece of body done that I like and it fits half decent.

No no warped it reflection,just went and dbl checked it after down loading pics.

 Figured up total amount of aluminum weld today,Between body,sheetmetal intake,Inj. adapter,oil pan, fuel tank and few minor pieces it came to roughly 920 inches.Heck by then I should be almost decent at welding aluminum.

Few pics of intake. I got the burst panel added,nitrous lines run and ready,Drilling .030 holes is just too much fun.  Did do some sanding on intake,got adapter about finish polished. Still to mount nitrous pressure gauge in rear and bypass/nitrous enrichment valve in front.

Finally got some rolling stock for car. Bought front wheels,tires and spindles for 300,rear wheels 500 and tires for 150. See I can do the shopping thing,DON'T TELL THE WIFE. Waiting for axles to arrive wensday.I have rearend housing but thanks toNeil and Parks site I know I can build it lighter about 20 lbs lighter. So now waiting on some moly plate to build new rearend housing. Fortunately I only had about 25 bucks in materials in first housing hours of work,never mind. Still only 200 in second housing and for 20 lbs off rear of car I will do it now,if not I would have to redo it anyway.

Finally got some rear wheels and slicks on car. I would have rearend finished since all new axles and brakes arrived except dang Parks.  Looking at his moly housing ad doing some math seems I can build new one and shve 18 yo 22 lbs off car,so original design is trashed for while and I have moly plate on the way.
