This thread is a jaw-dropper. Your fabrication skills are AMAZING. I can't help think that your skills could be better applied (I mean that in the best way) to a really high-end project.
Save a trashed hemicuda, wing car, AC Cobra, GT40, Ferrari Daytona etc. PLEASE!
This thread should be a BOOK, its that informative about what a talented human can achieve in his garage with skill and determination.
