Just a couple quick phone pics, it's on its way back together.

Regarding the brakes, they are the "Pro Street" version of Wilwood brakes on the front. They are heavier than the race version but still lighter than stock and you can put street miles on them. You can see we converted to vacuum brakes.

The car is being assembled and plumbed now, but we had a couple issues with the rear end and the converter and stuff, so there have been delays. After it goes back together it has to go back to the fab shop for the wastegates, blow-off valves, and radiator tabs. After that it gets wired.

It's finally starting to look more like a car.

Still has bodyshop dust everywhere, and we haven't had it on the ground yet with its new stance and wheels, but it's coming together now.

It actually has full tubs but we kind of converted it to a small tire car. Luckily, the rear housing wasn't that narrow, so we were able to change the wheel offset and make the car sit properly, like a small tire mini tubbed car.

Nice. Any pics of the trunk latches? Mine is mini tubbed and I need to put hinges to bolt the trunk back on obviously. What did you do?
