Its gorgeous! How is your tranny holding up? I like the low stance. What are the panels made out of?

Well The tranny is holding up great..no problems there. I have had it fully locked awhile now too.
The chasis has about 3.5inchs of clearence at the middle.
The panels are just lexan panels ziptied on. I may go a different direction in color though because I dont like the see through candy blue.

I like this tube chassis from New Era and I'll be ordering their fastback chassis soon.

How much does that chassis weigh? It looks cool, but a bit looooong.
