I know for sure i am missing stuff, lot's of fabrication went into this "Build". So many little things had to be made, it is an amazing feeling to have done most of this with zero experience when i started and now feel like i can accomplish anything. If you made it this far, thank you for reading and for your support. It means alot.

Build story

Not sure what else to mention other than what I typed above. I love building things and creating. I built this car to thrash and that's exactly how I drive it.
