I really like the styling look  but I just wonder if by recessing the light cluster that you may have restricted the angle of visibility to an extent that the authority's, when coming to registering, object.  nigel |

Here in Illinois, the state doesn't care what you do as long as they get their money. The lights are plenty bright to be seen from any angle |

The powdercoater is jacking me around. He called me on Saturday to say the frame will be done on Sunday at 3pm. I show up at 3 on Sunday and nobody was there. I call him, no answer. I called him this morning, no answer. I show up at his shop at 3pm today, and nobody there again. I'm not quite sure what to do, I guess I will keep trying. On another note I decided to work on brake/fuel line mounts. I didn't like the idea of a million P-clips drilled into my frame, so i picked up some 3/8"x3/4" aluminum stock. I drilled a few holes to hold the lines, and another hole so I can through bolt it to the frame. now I only have one hole to drill per bracket. Here is a quick rundown of what I did. I started off with two pieces of aluminum  I then drilled two 5/16 holes for the fuel lines, and a single 3/16 for the brake. I then flipped it to drill a hole for the bolt  Here is is opened up  Here is is with a few pieces of scrap tubing so you get the idea  That's all the progress for now until I (hopefully) get my frame back. |

SEATS! Kirkey Pro Street Drag in 16". These, I can say, are the most comfortable racing seats I have ever sat in, they fit me perfect.  |

On another not, does Exomotive supply the fuel line, I didn't see it in the shipment. I bought the braided kit but still got a coil of the cunifer line. It was in 2 USPS boxes that were flattened out and taped together. If you are heading to Indy any time soon you can have it. |

Thanks! I really appreciates the offer, but I already picked up some aluminum tubing a while back.

FINALLY! I picked up my frame from the powdercoater. Black with a gloss clearcoat.  I started installing the floors and brake/fuel lines    That is about it for today, hopefully tomorrow I will have it right side up and bolted down. |

Wow Mike, you are making quick work of it! I feel like a lazy bum for not getting much of anything done this weekend, but it was just too cold in my detached garage. I was running my torpedo heater and my upper body was getting warm but my feet were still freezing. I have tomorrow off work, so hoping to get some work done on the car since it will be a nit warmer.

I really like how your rear muffler is turning out. I have the Enthuzacar setup in mine, and although it fits nice / sounds good, I'm not crazy about how the 'completely vertical' muffler looks. Yours looks MUCH cleaner!!
