We have the quickest readily available power steering box already.

Front is as low as we can realistically get is and still have travel and tbe abilitu to align it.

Also, if we move the front wheels inboard, we start hitting tires on stuff.

All possibilities after the challenge, but with the massive amount of fab that would be necessary to do it, im not sure we would have the time or budget before the challenge.

If pictures are worth a thousand words, then this one would say badass one thousand times. There is so much awesome in that image, I peed a little.

I honestly didn't realize just how badass this thing was until I saw other people's good pictures from the autocross. Another debating whether or not I need fender flares or paint for that matter. I'd still like to add aero for just a little more badassness though.

I would not paint it. You could make a set of bolt on style fender flares, and some aero. Then I'd say this thing complete. But that's just my opinion. It's your car.

Nice Build. Can't wait to see it in person.

Flares...definitely needs flares. Part of me like how Mad-Max the thing is with the meats hanging out, but the part of me that prefers finished and intentional design desires it to wear flares. Kind of like putting a 350lb Linebacker in an Armani suit...oozing destructive power from all over, but with just enough polish that you can still go out in public during the day

That thing is begging for some Monza style flairs on it. I love it though.

We add a new event to The Challenge? Punting Stampy's car for distance!

Or the automotive soccer game like they did on Top Gear...

Even better! We could use the AMC to push broken cars around the autocross and the drag strip so they at least get a Time.

Never thought I'd say this:

Needs a bigger exhaust pipe/ tip. Maybe dual tips.

to match the tire excess. Like the Monza picture...

My first thought is get some big blocks of foam and a sanding block to make forms, Then do fiberglass magic. If it wasn't obvious, I've never worked with fiberglass.

You're the one who built an AMX-rated car.

And when I suggested NERF bar I ain't talking about push bars on the front. I'm talking on each side for rubbin' in the turns.....
