Very impressive build. I stayed up til 1 am last night reading that thread. That car is going to be fun as hell to drive.

The guy should charge admission to view that thread (I would pay to see the conclusion). Worthy of a TV episode, with the drama of divorce and school as a backdrop!

I think he should up the final drive so that he can get a true feeling for what the powertrain is capable of. Really cool thread, I read through the whole thing last night!

The 914 excites me the most, but the sunbeam build seems to have more work going in. Cool concepts!

Pretty cool. If the engine could speak, I wonder what it would say when it fired up. "What happened to my body?"

It probably screamed and dug in its shift work when they wheeled it toward the car.

The car should have full rigidity...he said he plans on bracing the crap out of it...lol

He should have braced it BEFORE cutting the car. It's only being supported by 4 jackstands near the center of the car. He cut the edges off. Just think about it for a minute.

Either way it is still a great build other than the bracing part.
