Top half of the firewall was also smoothed for supper clean look.All the suspension, sub frame, rear-end, and wheel wells are all painted gloss black and look as good as the exterior dose.

It has very mild manners and is SUPER RELIABLE. I have run power tour with it multiple time, cruises down the highway 70mph @ 2600rpm getting 18mpg! I built the car to be the reliable, fast as hell, look like a show car, and do the best burnout you have ever seen (i don't believe in needing the brakes toburn rubber),all of which it does VERY well.
