One more time.Vents,too much,not enough?the pipe beneath it,is what the exhaust passes thru,and will be shaped to the rocker.Ron

Got the rocker section built,I wish I could have gotten the exhaust exit back alittle farther,but with the perimeter frame with the truck arms,there was no other place for it to go.The sucky part is now I have to do the other side of the car.Ron

Made the functional portion of the vents,all this little stuff really slows you down.Ron

With all the cars I've tubbed thru the years,and always had a problem figuring out how to attach the tub to the quarter.Mini tubbing was always alittle easier,because you could use the outter wheel house to attach to.This car the tire is so far out there,that there is no outter house.Formed a peice of angle to the shape of the quarter and used the new panel adhesive that all the body shops are using,worked pretty good.I was very reluctant to use it,but all my bodyshop buddys say that is all they use now.No weld spatter all over everything,I did had to borrow the gun,and the adhesive added $35 to the budget,but it was easy.Ron

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
