By request: Prodigy Undercarrige
A few asked for pictures underneath. You can see the fuel tank is not tight yet in this pic but I wanted to get something on for you guys. I think this is a good leason in exhaust routing for some, no draging issues here.

man, thats some good ground clearance! Who did all the welding? I thought the floors were sandblasted, why undercoating not body color?(well i guess it is black
? You should later after sema do a diffuser in the rear or whatever they call it, like on Chicayne to match teh floor pan

Yody, I did not expect you to respond positive, I am not sure weather this response was positive or not, to anything I posted after your bitching about me and others in the chat room last night. Even though others requested pics, I really had second thoughts about posting at all based on the things you said last night, then I said screw it, and posted anyway.
Michael did all the welding on the car

hmmm, sorry you feel that way. Would you rather me respond negatively? If you didn't hear it from horses mouth then I wouldn't take hearsay too seriously. So, still wondering about the undercoating? what made you go that way instead of body color/ or semi black?

Frank,
What kind of undercoating is that? it really has a nice texture to it. I didnt even notice the tank until now. The black tank looks killer-David

The undercoat is Wurth SKS, it is there for noise reduction and a durable surface, we use it on almost everything we do. The fuel tank is something Ricks and I designed, it is not black that is a bad picture, it is stainless and it does look like the exhaust runs through the tank. The pipes run near the trunk floor, and the tank has cut outs to go around them. It is a real work of art and really adds to the nice packaging. Rick's Hot Rod Shop is the best.

How do you like the sound with the chambered pipes. I had looked into them as they make them is so many sizes and it is easier package to get into tight spots.
Does floor have any beads for strength? I guess the above comments Were they were looking for ISCA show car. Nice detailed driver. I use the same undercoat and it always looks good, doesn't rust, and doesn't sound like you are in a tin can while driving.
I always say; "Never listen to anybody's comments unless they are willing to put their work up against what they are commenting on" Easy to be critic , harder to actually finish a car.
Good luck at SEMA.

Brian, the chambered is loud, real loud. It sound like a Cobra on steriods. The seller said we needed 3' of pipe per side to get to a legal limit, We have 4' per side and it is LOUD! A little might be the beast in front of the pipes, a lot of inches and 11:1 compression. It will be fun for a while, We will be putting silencers on it for around town cruising.
Ironically, the SKS was for noise reduction, LOL!
The floor is braced and does not have ribs. The sections are relitively small and done in 16 gauge, so they are very strong anyway. It has a perimeter and inner chassis, so the floor really only keep your feet off the pavment.
