Is this a track only car?

No , it's a street car, it will have air too. I know, I may have gotten a bit carried away, my wife says that a lot. You should have seen my basement project.

Please be sure your head cannot strike the roll bar in an accident. Most roll bars are started on top of the rear torque box and go through the interior quarter panel. That gives another 5-6" of room for your skull.

I hear ya, we did all that, that's why the seat was in the photos, I wanted to make sure the measurements were done while I was seated in it and I was comfortable with the final install. We moved the 'Gurney' bar over for that reason. It looks closer than it is in the pics. When the car goes racing there will be a headrest mount attached at the harness tabs.
Thanks for looking out for my head.

Nothing major, as I've been busy with wife projects and work, but started wiring and some plumbing (brakes and fuel). I did get my motor back from Borowski and pretty happy with the numbers. Also picked up my drive shaft, which I am REALLY happy with. Wasn't sure if I should mount it on the car or on the wall.

Wow amazing fab work on a super solid car. This build is going to be one sweet ride. I like the cross brace with the drive shaft loop. Great work.

It's a Strange built 3" chromoly shaft with 1350 joints.
