    Nice.I have been watching this thread for awhile.Could you back track alittle and post the fitting of the kit body??.Some details of that would be very good too.Pictures??.

    Just curious.Do you have a finished wt of the car??.I would guess it is very light and it wouldn't take much to make it very fast.Cornering it has to be like it is on rails.
    Good Bye

    I have a lot of pics of the body installation. I'll divide them up into a few posts. As for weight, I have no idea. I'll look into finding out.

    Here are a few pics of the donor body prep.

    Starting with the original 260Z...
