    Welded up interior factory screw holes and prepping for paint, bolting in software and gauges for first startup soon. Making seat base's for a pair of seasoned alum drag seat's for joy riders on HWY. No dreams of street use this year but expect to here the Holeset spool soon

    *car apears to be under 1600#, previous estimates where high*

    But Andy's building a car that could prob. win a bunch of best in shows when it's done. This is more of a drag car.
    Chicago is what you would get if Milwaukee had sex with it's sister. Said by a co-worker of mine arguing w/ somebody on how Milwaukee is better then Chicago.

    Wait....Cryptic still owns an RX-7???? I thought that went away years ago when the build thread sort of just went away.

    Good to hear that you are back on the project Russ, can't wait to see this car done!

    Keep up the progress and updates!
