No i dont, because its not in yet. We are still quite a few steps away from that. But it does come with the kit. Its a custom harness with all the wires labled for this car. Should be a pretty easy step when we get to it!

Yep, its actually a race proven design. This company even has its own race series. I have seen videos of people slamming into curbs all the way to rolling over mulitiple times and living to tell. Thats 4 inch tubing running down the whole chassis.

It's starting to look really good. I love the engine you are going to use. I'm jeaolus at your weather you seem to have. We have lots of snow and are below freezing most of the time. I don't have any plans of taking my Cobra out until mid april.

Yea last summer we vent to a sportscar meeting. It was held in a very beatifully area. On top it is a small castle and below a big lawn that has a slight angle down towards a lake. On that lawn we where ca 400 cars parked and the weather vas beautiful for about one hour and then it started to rain cats and dogs .You can imagine all of those cars trying to drive up a soaked wet grass lawn that was a mess. We were lucky enough to have a small driveway just close to where I had parked so we didn't have that much of a problem. But the car looked like a big piece of sh-t afterwards. Here are some pics from the meeting
