I have know received the body from the paint guy who had it for just about 9 months and did a really nice job. The Paint and body work was done by Joe Cruze out of Albany OR. The color is Championship White from a Acura Type R. It is almost the same as the early roadster white this a is a off white. It is a base coat clear coat and I had him paint everything as it was bear metal. The under side was shot with a bed liner coating and is perfect.
We were able to use Dave Jolliff's lift to set the body on the frame with all the engine, trans, turbo, exhaust and suspension all finished. The rear axle is a RX7 gslse axle that has been narrowed for a 16x 7.5 and uses a 225 40 R16 tire.
Gorgeous. I'd like to schedule a personal training session w/ Michael on wiring and brake tubing.

Yes, I cut off the late steering support and welded on the early style. I then had to reinforce that backet so it remains nice and strong. The steering column is a combination of a early and late as well.
