You should shorten up the rear axle if you are able to because that way you could tuck the rear wheels in nicely or have a little bit of poke. None of that massive "hella" crap. Kudos to doing this build, very unique. I remember talking to you about your turbo kit a while ago before you sold it. I would personally be willing to drive up there to get a ride/see this car. I think when it is done it will be pretty badass. Best of luck with the build. All this from a fellow Ontarian.

It received so much attention it'd be the same as if $100 bills were falling from the sky around it.
Exactly what I meant!! You know how a crowd runs to a nitro car at an NHRA meet when it fires up?? That is what you will receive.

Why did you not shorten the rear axle, it's cheap, safe and would look a billion times better and more sleeper to keep tires under the stock body.

Tunes are very very important, although I have a feeling the first few drives he'll be listening to the engine not music
