Default New Car fresh from the painter

It's freezing cold today and I didn't feel like working in the shop. So, I am sitting inside, nice and warm, trying to learn how to use my computer!
I built my Corvette based Cobra last year (C5) and now I am working on my new Speedster. I thought that some of you might like to see my 1980lb Speedster wich is under construction.
Some key facts. I built a steel space frame to which the aluminum C5 suspension cradles bolt to. I kept the stock C5 track and wheelbase but moved the engine rearward by 22 inches. The car has 5 inches of ground clearance, is 38 inches tall and 77 inches wide. When I sit in it my head is the height of the head fairing.
I should have it completed soon and cann't wait for spring so that I can drive it!!!: 480fuel injected aluminum LS3 with T56 6 speed tranny.

Yahoo!!!!
