my guess is his car will weigh in around 3000 lbs............. he's coated or painted about everything
probably will need a 100shot of NOS to launch it

2999lb's isn't 3000.
Come on Jan, I'm just making things look cool to go alone with my crazy power. The motor has been done and sitting on a pallet here at my work for weeks. I've been working like a dog which slowed down my work. I'm pulling things apart and changing, detailing, painting or polishing and doing it all myself when I have time. It's going to look really trick (at least to me).
I told myself that once I stated this project I wouldn't cut any corners. It will get done when I get it done. So slowly
I know my wife wants all the ***** out of the garage
.
I'm off to China on the 20th so I am trying to get it done this week so I can drive it before I leave. I'm back for four weeks than off to the Netherlands. My plan is to find some time to get some video's up of the car for all to see and hear

Take your time LB. Do it the way you want too. I know everyone is waiting, but if it really bothers them, they could have one built also.
