Looks like a lot of work. But that's the fun part,right? 
Are you going to put that motor in the background in it?

True slysnake.. It's a lot of trials and tribulations!.
Motor in the background is for the dragster.. for the Stealth I'm fitting an LS Chevy V8 first, just to get it built and drive-able, then intend to go Chevy Big Block.. as you do.. ..........

Sorting out touch-ups and reinforcing etc..
The body shell was an unsymmetrical rough cast.
Not an easy job.. but lovin the progress!. .......

From my research bubble and experience slysnake, they are all a little rough around the edges, with unsymmetrical flaws that have to be attended to. The overall mould is sound; however it is a basic cast, so reinforcement and strengthening is essential in complementing the overall integrity of the body shell, before even starting the build.
Every time I go in to work on a section of the body realizing the challenging task ahead, instead of thinking what a pain in the butt this will be.. it is more overcome by the significance of what it is that I am working on here. It’s a beast no matter what angle you look at it. I mean look at the friggin thing.. with all its warts and problems, it’s worth every pain in the ass moment. ....
