Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the photo-images.
Looks fantastic.
Just a few questions.

Is it yours?

If not,
Is this the 3D printed full-sized vehicle I was reading about on line? vertigo

Definitely looks printed. I can't even imagine how long that would take or how much it would cost. At first I thought it was one of the Chinese ones, but the jet air intakes look correct on this one where as the Chinese ones are a little more squeezed imo.

But yeah, how can you drop something like that on us Kevin without any information! You're killing me man.

vert- nice! I am also on the verge of ordering the seats as well, since looks like I will need them in place to start forming the roll bar properly around them next month...

The cost is $20k from what I was quoted a while back from a reputable guy doing these prints...

Yeah if you continue with the front engine drivetrain routing I would suggest cutting out and forming a central tunnel similar to the vette... so that you can more easily install AND service those parts from underneath instead of removing the upper body to get to them.

If you decide to go back to the original rear engine flipped 180 to feed a 4wd transfer case to then hit an offset rear axle/diff, there is plenty of venting back there with the air scoops feeding the area and the open back. The wings could be hinged to flip up for servicing too.

THEMAN,

Probably will continue with front engine drivetrain routing.
Thanks for the advice on tunnel aspects.

How are the mechanical aspects of sly's and your builds coming along? vertigo

Have been researching how to register a custom vehicle as a street legal.
Waiting for an answer from DMV on emission control issues.

How to Register an Antique or Custom Car in the State of Texas
Just like any other car or truck in the state of Texas, custom vehicles and antiques must be properly registered. Registering a newer everyday car certainly differs from the process to register an antique or custom car.
LETS DEFINE ANTIQUE AND CUSTOM BUILT VEHICLES
According to Texas state law a vehicle will be considered an antique if the body, frame and engine are at least 25 years old.

Texas considers a custom or assembled vehicle as a motorized vehicle of any kind that has been reconstructed using a body, frame and a motor. The difference is that it cannot resemble a known brand. When registering this type of motor vehicle, Texas will register the vehicle with the make as “Assembled”. The year of the car will be decided by the year of the body used in the custom build. There is one more category for custom cars which are registered as a”Replica”. These motor vehicles are defined as using a manufactured prefabricated body that resembles a known brand.

REGISTERING YOUR ANTIQUE OR CUSTOM VEHICLE IN TEXAS
The first step will be to take a trip to your local county tax office to begin the registration process.
Make sure you bring the following things with you:

A notarized Title application. If you are attempting to get a title for a new custom or rebuilt motor vehicle you are going to need the Title application.

The Certificate of Title or manufacturer’s certificate of origin. This is for any custom, rebuilt or antique vehicles that have already been titled.

The Bill of Sale showing proof that you own the vehicle and all of the parts/components used in the vehicle.

A completed Builder’s Affidavit if you are registering a for custom or rebuilt vehicle.

If a motor, frame or body has been changed in an existing vehicle it has to be recorded by correcting the Title certificate.

Pencil tracings of the frame, body and motor numbers will be required for all rebuilt vehicles.

The VTR-68-N form properly filled out for reassigned vehicle identification number.

An accurate weight certificate for the vehicle being registered.

Proof of financial responsibility for yourself and the vehicle

You will also need to bring at least one clear photo of the vehicle you will be registering.

A completed application for VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) if the vehicle being registered is located outside of Texas.

Lastly you are going to need to bring in an Inspection report.
This report certifies that the vehicle meets or exceeds the safety regulations to drive on Texas roads.
After a thorough inspection from a Department of Safety inspection station you will receive this report.

Rebuilt and custom vehicles will need this inspection report, however depending on the age of the car, some parts do not have to be inspected unless the original parts have been retained.

ASSOCIATED FEES WITH REGISTERING A CUSTOM OR ANTIQUE VEHICLE
Titling fees will be required when registering a custom or antique vehicle. You will be able to pay this fee with cash, check, money order or credit cards.

Received my Sparco seats today and did some fitting work with the wood proxy roll bar assembly.
I am glad I waited to fabricate the roll bar assembly in steel.
If I had not waited my finished roll bar assembly would have been too small. vertigo

THEMAN,
"Most def! No room for console w/ shifter between those...

"Did you get the standard or large fit versions?"

I bought the large fit version.

Sales staff where I ordered my seats stated that there is not really much, if any, outside difference between standard and large size. And that the difference between standard and large is on the inside fit of the seat and not the outside dimensions.

SPARCO website has a precise measurements chart for all their seats.
