    I too have been watching this build series since the beginning, and I think it came out better than expected for the most part. I gove credit for all the experimentation that was done on this chassis to see what works and what could be improved on. Thats what makes it a real build that's actually raced and driven hard instead of just parked and polished. Thanks for sharing this, it was nice to look back on the project as a whole from where ot started. Keep up the great work 👍

    Great little recap but for people that wasn't here along the have not ideal the real challenge this was along the way. Day job,work in your shop ,and working on the Jeep and this. Your recap makes it look some what easy but it was far from that! You determination and times you may have felt like giving in but you never did.
    Looks great and teaches that if you just keep at something no matter how long it takes can and will be a wonderful feeling. Yes things are going to go wrong and break but that's racing,hell that's live. I am loving seeing this but I'm sure not as much as you are racing it....

    As far as making the car faster, as long as the motor is safe with the tune it has, learn to drive it before adding more power. Your future self, teammates, family and friends will all be happy you did.
