nice job looks very clean
It is amazing what you can accomplish when the reward is a 6 pack and a pizza.
It was quite a project. Grafting the 2 different unibodies together took a lot of thought.
There were spaces and gaps that needed to be filled between the different structures. So there is a tubular space frame interwoven through the structure. The rockers, the cowl and firewall, the front and rear suspensions, etc... it was designed to transfer the loads up to the roof through the A and B pillars.

I remember someone did a very extensive project car named the SN65. It was yellow
This is that car, but reborn in carbon fiber... Before the upgrade the car weighed 3,600 lbs. After the upgrade, the car weighs in at a mere 2,900 lbs.

Very cool.
I thought that car had the strut towers shaved.
Nope. The all steel yellow version had strut towers. They were just relocated 8 inches forward.

looks good for sure
Cool. Now we need to see some build process pics. I’m curious how much of the chassis was retained. Any recent car show pics? Awards?
Here is a link to the original build book.
