Main3s Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ^^^ Agree, it looks a little scarry to me. I like the wheels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 ^^^ Agree, it looks a little scarry to me. I like the wheels though. Doesn't matter, there's no passenger seat. Even when there was a passenger seat, the 5pt harness eliminated the threat of dash contact. When strapped in, you can't reach it with your hands. I fail to see how it could possibly be worse than any other aluminum racing dash. The lack of sharp angles and the presence of rolled edges make it safer than the ones I've seen, and I've seen plenty. It's just there to cover a support bar and an ungodly mess of OEM wiring harnesses. Oh, the loose wires are just lenths of test wire I used to pin-out some switches. There are no loose wires in the car.... anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19TbirdSC91 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 That car is absolutely sick, I remember coming out there with my friend Shane to check it out a couple years ago when you were going to sell it. I have wished I could have bought it. His racecar has come a long way. Here's a couple of pics of my supercoupe. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t56/imwithstupid016/35th%20pics/DSC01563.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t56/imwithstupid016/35th%20pics/DSC01587.jpg http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t56/imwithstupid016/35th%20pics/9417401238.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
