I went by the chassis shop I used to work at and shot some of these if you've never seen them in person!

Clean!
The frame rail tubing is Oiled and Pickeled, no miil scale. The roll cage tubing is ground seamless DOM! Which means the O.D. is ground to make it a consistant wall thickness, making the tubing somewhat lighter and dang nice to weld!

I couldn't help but notice the extreme angle of the lower control arm mounting points. Now I'm bending my brain trying to figure out how it affects alignment setting during compression and rebound
, and it hurts.

My other car is a Vega.

my mom's fiance's cousin's husband (sounds convoluted, but it's who he is. i forget his name, but he lives about a mile from me) used to make headers for the Kodak car when Sterling (i think) drove it. i think he still goes down to NC and makes headers for that team (Ganassi?) every winter.

Header builder!
Gerold Reinhart ot Mark Linebarrier. The lower control mounts use adjustable slugs to alter the position without having to change the whole front clip as you would do in the old days!
