Looks awesome! great approach and departure angle :D

What wheelbase?

What colour are you going to paint it? (I think lime green would look awesome for some reason...)

It has turned out good, just looks like you have all the fun small things left to do & glad it didn't turn out bad with the test run, could have been a nightmare so close to TTC.
Best of luck if I don't make it down.

i think painting it will be a huge mistake. As it is it looks really cool. It is a pity the doors are not the same old faded paint as the rest of the body though. Just paint the welds with some primer and leave it as is. Sort of like a rat rod crawler. Having said that it is your car so do whatever you want with it. Car looks great and good luck at TT

I agree with the others on leaving the paint as is... that thing looks awesome as is, like it's already been through three or four wars and survived.
This is not legal advice.
