    Every time I see your car I'm amazed at the workmanship of what you do. Where did you pick up all those skills? Will the roll bar be 'as seen' in this image when completed?

    It will be "finished" with some welding and powdercoating. I'm also adding left/right rear-view cameras to the rear of the bar to provide some side and rear visibility.

    Look under the Fiberglass and Bodywork forum-->"Painting the Mirage...6 years into it"

    Nothing real recent. The signature has a link which has all my photos in it. Eventually I may take more photos, especially at the track, but it's kind of a "completed" project, and being it's only driven less than a 100 miles per month, so there isn't much to photograph.

    Cycling weather is here now, and that's where most of my time is dedicated until this fall. Maybe I'll stick the Go-Pro on, video the next street drive, and post it.
