you could easily hide it in the cowl area and it would still receive plenty of signal or place it to the rear portion of the t-top center bar

here's some more pics. The drivers quarter is done. The shell should be finished soon. Slowly but surely!
I welded the skin to the brace since all the rivets were broke, its nice an solid, just needs a skim coat to get the slight warpage I got out.

UNBELIEVABLE build!!!

AWESOME thread! if this isn't motivation to get a build going or get a build back on track, nuttin' will!

if the rest of your car turns out as sick as your valve covers and engine bay i'd say you have a winner. i didn't read through every post but i noticed you were talking about a 2 stage launch system?? is this car going to be a 1/4 mile car?

I can't speak for the OP but having talked with him some, I'm sure the car will get its fair share of abuse on the track!

Oh yea this car is all set up for drag, 90/10's and 50/50's, eibach drag launch springs. It will definatly get its share of racing, I'd like to get competitive but well see. I also want to do the show thing too. I want to get this car out there with my name on it to try and bring business in.

I'm quite possibly in love with your color scheme and the build altogether. I think I speak for everyone when I say, we appreciate every last detail you put into your obsession and I'm sure you will all the same. Good luck man, hope to see you on the road one day.

Thanks man! I really wanted to go all out on the details. I'm sure more will come but it feels good to be so close to paint, I literally never thought I would get as far as a have so far!
