I'd like to run dropped spindles on my car and seem to recall reading somewhere about the availablity of them. Also, what's up with the nine holes with the rubber plugs along the lower edge of the front trunk that are visible with the bumper off? Also, for a car that's going to be set up for limited street use and see mostly track application could you leave off the rotor backing plates for increased air circulation to assist with heat dissipation? Lastly, do the headlight buckets serve any purpose as far as gusseting the front corners of the tub? I'm going to have fixed exterior lights (like a ralley car) to make the car street legal so I'm considering cutting out the buckets for the stock headlights unless it will compromise the structural integrity of the tub. -K-

Hello Chris. Thanks for your response. Regarding the nine holes, I was just curious about why they are there. It seems like there would be some function they were the provision for. I checked out one of the vid clips on your site. I'm on a dial-up so the footage comes in the installment plan, just a bit tedious but I'm dying for the view from the cockpit for myself. I took note that it appears you have the stock dash removed completely from your car. I have been considering doing the same thing and just fabricating a small console to house the gauges for the vitals. I never got a clear shot of your instrument panel from behind the wheel, is that the route you took as well? Regards, -K-
