She's like a Mini Cobra, as far as power to weight ratio is concerned. Biggest problem to solve, was the suspension issues, and braking problems. All the extra weight changed the entire dynamics of the car. Once worked out, she performed like a champ, but it took a year or two to do the job, start to final finish.
I'm impressed. Pictures?
