dude...I think i've seen both ur cars...

do you drive on Buford Hwy with your Jeep? There is one just like yours with BLACKED out windows and nasty loud dual exhaust.

Im pretty sure I saw your indy car a few times getting on 85s from N. Druid Hills...am I right?

Yea, I drive the Buffy to work every day. My wife is haulin' ass all over town in the Jeep. It IS the really loud one (and it's not just exhaust work!). I took the Indy to the Varsity a long time ago when i first got it on the road. When is the next meet up there? I would love to do a moutain run with it too. Too the Indy to the autocross at Turner Field. Found out some suspension adjustments I want to make. Then to the moutains

I'm not feeling the wheels, but I think the car is hot. That's a nice engine/trans choice. Especially the trans because it's not worth a damn in the heavier cars they come in. You have the autostick transmission too?

Yea, she's a bit fat considering. The original designer used over sized everything on it. I guess for safety even though having thick as suspension parts and over weight steering knuckles aren't gonna save my life. The wheel search continues until I can scrap up some cash. There is another roadster I may start work on that is 1800lbs with 405 horse power stock. That's a little more what I am looking for, but it has no top and the ass looks funny.

Now there is the question. Where to go to get help with the TWIN TURBO. There is tons of room. Then I'd be happy with it. Oh, and wheels

Turbo Dave. I hear he love projects like that. I've seen some of his fab work. It's beautiful. Look up Mainstream performance on here

from the holes on the front body panel, it seems like there is a detachable windshield.

nice toy.

There is a little windscreen on the front you can see. It's from a bass boat. No helmet needed since it is registered as a car. You do get a bunch o shit in your eyes. BIg sunglasses are a must. Besides that, it's like a huge go kart with tons of power. Puts a smile on my face every time. Not the "best car" I've ever owned, but by far the most fun
