the battery is in the trunk. i built the exhaust system by buying a bunch
of prebent and straight 2.25" pieces and welding them together. the
engine
is a 350 with Iron Eagle heads, shaved to 63cc, ZZ4 roller cam and 2
4-barrels. it is really fast and burns rubber like nobodies business.
kind
of a pain doing that with no interior as it all fills up with smoke.
