His goal was to enter it in local car shows and, so far, he's won four trophy's with it. Nice work!

Here are some pics of the front end rebuild. As you can see the front needed a little attention . He moved the battery from under the drivers seat to the front and then used home flooring and aluminum molding to finish it off.
