Beautiful work, Kurt.

Any substantial risk with the interior oil tank, specifically in case of a pax-side t-bone? The cage and double wall of the tank+enclosure probably mitigate anything but getting sprayed with 2-3 gallons of hot oil would add injury to insult.

Wow, Kurt, that car is gorgeous. How do you keep the rust off of it?

I think a 993 3.6 motor would be just the ticket for that car. PM me if you're interested in the spare motor I have.

I like it with the FG mocked on.

Got ideas for colors ... how about Ford 9M; 1986 - 1997 truck, van and suv.

Looks like the fancy "por-sha" ivory white and even comes in rattle cans ... if you don't want to spray.

We use a lot of it.

Mocked? That is how GT Racing FG normaly fits.
