Honestly, probably something shitty. Initially at least. The idea is to build this car, paint it, toss on some fender flares and wide rotas, then drive it to the carlisle car show and toss a FS sign on it. I got the motor for a little over 3000 bucks, so i don't think i can't make profit on the car.

Here are some updates from yesterday:

Why buy roundstock for the plugs when you can just make it?

1.225" Round 6061 Aluminum cut from 4" square of Billet 6061 Aluminum on a wire EDM.








cutting the plug on a bandsaw:


plugs inserted... i don't trust myself enough to weld this (can't warp + oil infused) so i'm going to have a pro do it today.
