i can get you my cost on all those parts if none are donated...

Just a lil' update. Recently Paul rebuilt, repacked the hubs and put all new studs in. They're ready to go. Tonight my brother buttoned up the front passenger fender and we began disasembling and thinking about how to mold a piece for the bolt-in/out sunroof. In the next week or so my brother and I will finish fabbing up the rear. In mid October or so, enkeivette is gonna come over and finish up the rear bumper. Then well eliminated the flash rust and prime everything we can. Money is tight and this comes out of the "fun only" money bucket so it's inching along. But I'll always move what I can. When this is done, it's gonna be pretty sweet period, and pretty amazing considering the fairly minimal amount of money that will have been put in.

I really think you should just net the top for now. How is the front bumper coming along? I want to spray epoxy.

That thing is gonna rip, I haven't checked in on this for over a year(?)... great job guys. I was going to help out a while back but decided I had too much other crap going on to be useful. Look forward to the first timeslip! I didn't bother to read the whole thing, but do you have any plans to put this thing on a road course type setup? I think that would be a lot of fun considering the power/weight you have there :)

We might take it to an AutoX for sheer shits and giggles sometimes, but it isn't gonna have the braking and more importantly cooling, to handle longer gnarlier stuff.

Ok kids, I got $250 to spend on the Snake. Aaron has been slammed with work and starting his biz so rather than wait to buy body materials, I was thinking maybe button up the top, which means HGs and head bolts . Please advise on best choices here.

Poor reading comprehension. Don't have the time to complete that at this time. However, putting heads on the motor, etc., not such a big deal and moves the ball down field a touch.

I read and I answered. Finish the body
