    Looking great!. Loved the go kart video. Engine looks and sounds gorgeous! Is it a BluePrint engine? sounds like it might be a bit beefier than what they sell. What cam and HP is it?
    Look forward to more pics and video.

    Just went through your whole build. Very nice work and really love the black on black on black. Looks super sinister!

    I installed the sliding rag top a while ago. I do like it, but there are some trade offs. I don't want to bust up the OP's build thread so I'll PM you.

    This car caught my eye in Huntington Beach a couple years ago. I really like all of the choices you have made and the work you’ve done. Keep up the good work.

    I sandblasted the housings and painted them to match the cars paint. Still need to polish and smooth the finish.
