    What an incredible thread and a marvelous example of hot rod ingenuity. Ryan, you are to be commended for not only the technical expertise required to make all the required systems work but beyond that, the creativity you have demonstrated puts you a category shared with the likes of Carroll Shelby and Zora Arkus-Dontov – way outside the box in terms of what most people would consider for a race car.

    I have a great deal of respect and admiration for those who do “the un-thinkable” and you sir, have done it in a big way! Congratulations on your successes with this car and please keep us in the loop as you continue to refine and “re-define”. I really have enjoyed this thread!

    Regards,
    Glenn

    Glenn, thanks for the kind words. Once we get it in the 9's I'm thinking about removing part of the interior cage and redoing it so I can redo the interior and turn it into more of a pro touring car. Take it on power tour or anything we want.
