very cool!... Literally that should be enough air flow to keep it very cool.

Check this out for baby:

(because every infant needs a 5 point harness)
I think RECARO makes one in blue if you need to match.

Recaro baby seats are cool! Our little one will get one when he's out of his Chicco Race version infant seat Keep the buld coming along. This is too cool. I only wish I could do the same...man do I envy you....

LOVELY color, but that body kit... Still not doing it for me.

But, it's going to be hella fun to watch that thing take off like an earthbound space shuttle when you put the hammer down. (Sigh...).

PS - How do you plan to isolate the engine bay from the passenger compartment? Also, it strikes me that even that roll cage might not hold back the mass of that engine should you subject the car to sudden "deceleration trauma". Now there's a frightening thought...
