      There was no budget, just patience and lots of overtime at work. As far as expenses, I would rather not post that (wife may be peeking in lol) but if there is a piece in particular you can send me a PM and I'll be glad to help.

      This car is simply a rolling piece of art. Beautiful car!

      (It'll look even more amazing when you give Van Halen their paint job back)

      I also added in an approximately 45 gallon fuel cell custom made by fuel safe complete with bladder, foam, surge tank, and dual A1000 Aeromotive pumps. It was too big to go in from above so the 'support cage' is actually built above it and it mounts from below.

      Now all I have to do is take everything back apart and paint it all.

      This is how I drove it for over a decade. The paint (when it was new) is one of those that looks a lot better in person. I drove it as a pro-touring car even with the blower on it for a while, but it wasn't popular up here at the time so I gave in to be more competitive in the 1/4.

      A few more pictures now that I got it home. It needs a good dusting still after being at the fab shop so long.
