The panels look great. Is the body fitted by the factory? Is it left hand drive? | |

The body is pre-fitted at MDA but final adjustments need to be done later. The panels can be installed & powder-coated as an MDA option. They did an outstanding job, attention to detail is there, even in hard to access/see areas.
This chassis is configured as a 'right hooker' aka right hand drive but left hand/centre shift is avaialble.

Looking great Chris. Heck, you'll probably be on the road before I can come and check out your, um, parts... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I look forward to hearing and seeing the progress.

Chris-
That suspension made me drool all over my keyboard. That is a damn fine looking car. I'm very impressed | |

Hey Bill - thanks for the kudos, I think the black paneling set against the nickel plate/aluminum makes the suspension stand out a lot more.

Chris,
It looks like you have a 4-point cage in it. Can you post a few pictures of that?
Thanks,
Chris | |

Hey Chris - love the way Mark setup the cage (standard equipment), it fits neatly within the spider, x-braced and all contained within the interior, you hardly even notice it's there.

Very nice cage design, one of the best I've seen for not being a "problem" on entry.
