But the interior was going to be a make or break and I wanted it subtle but rich looking, I decided on the dark brown just to help sway the paint color more to the tan than the yellow look. I think I designed 200 seats before that's one we went with, lol. it was tough, because I didn't want it to overpower the outside and have too much going on.
Well, it worked. Tell your buddies they each contributed some outstanding effort & your build is on point.

The metal work is outstanding.
The paint looks top tier.
The interior is rich w/o being 'too busy'.
The interior color is defining & absolutely compliments the exterior.
The mechanicals were well done & execution looks top notch as well.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
