    i just made some measurements cut them out in card board then used the card board as a template to cut the wood wraped it with polyester / flese (from wal-mart) and put some resin on it

    i watched a ton of videos of fiberglassing on youtube thats how i learned what to do

    Nice job.

    I might build one - if I do, I am thinking of adding cup holders, heated seat switches, Tach, floor and round front AC vents to match lower tray vents.

    You got me thinking! (y)

    yah the first 2 i broke wer at the track and i only went there 2 times

    first time i didn't even get off the line when it broke / and i was only leaving kinda hard like at a stop light

    then the second time i went there i got to run 5 times on the 6th one it broke off the line

    i'am not leaveing hard at all that i know of

    just watch the video my best was 15.6 i need 3.70's to 3.89's i had 3.25's in it



    beat run / first run from the side view and you hear the car hit 3rd gear and it slows down and yes thats 3rd all the way to the end





    and yes i have the 9'' housing from (maverickmanick) or some thing like that
