It's been checked up and completed...all good there. The paint was to keep from rusting yes. Getting it certified soon...the brackets for the window net / parachute release were also put on.

It's not at that shop anymore...lots of stuff has been done but most of it has and will be kinda secretive / low key. Not going to be releasing much more till it's almost done. Car is still in Texas but will be seeing the track this year, guaranteed! Looking forward to spring .

Lol thanks for the support! If it blows the manifold this time, I think I'd have a considerable amount of damage.

Lol I knew once I started posting on here again, someone would ask what was up. Long story...lots of details...not too much that I can really share however. Good news is that it's still progressing.
