cool! Great pics!

the scientist geeks seem to think 10 degrees taper under the car is a good number, and I agree sloping downward at the back is probably a bad idea.

In the past two days my buddy got a LOT done on the hood, and it is mounted, and a bunch of body work done.
The windshield is cut down, and mounted into the body. Got to sit in my mounted seat, hold the steering wheel, look out the windshield, and make VROOM VROOM noises!!!

The back of the car has the hatch removable, and window openings cut out. We learned a lesson from an old pro about how to build the body flanges - we half built them, then the old pro showed us how it will never work the way we did it.

Oh well.

Meanwhile I made more money as a mechanic today then I paid my buddy for the work.
