It has begun - G-Pete's 289FIA Scratch Build

[G-Pete]

Finally I got the car to drive with the broken in engine. DANG! 473HP/2000# ARE fun - even when you have only a 600 feet stretch. I was really tempted to run down the street around the block.

I can announce the chassis is mechanically done.

A few minor things like the foot box covers, seat belts side alu covers - nothing major.

The end of August is near and my wife and I looking forward to work more on the body then. With +100F it is not much fun under the carport with respirators to sand a body. Some downsides to the Carbon Fiber body.

The shape/form of the quick jacks are different from front to rear. The rear are lager and the front have a kink on top. They are two parts each welded in and outside.
