The bracing to the front roll bar is boss!

Looks substantial, but wouldn't those bars from windshield center up to the windshield surround be a visibility problem? Looks like a monster jam truck could roll over it with minimal damage. Street use?

Lance, this is the "R" version of the chassis. I doubt that it will see the street.

Streaming is on right now.

I have driven a few cars with triangulated front hoop, you don't even notice them when on track.

[Mark Dougherty]

This coupe is a track car first then a street car second
It will be street legal with heat defrost wiper.
No sound carpet or sound insulation

It was great watching the build all weekend. You all did some fine work.

I appreciate being along for the ride. Do you feel like you accomplished all that you set out to do?

It's exciting seeing the new chassis, and I look forward to watching others build their coupes!

Regards,

Steve
