For being a straight up race car i would be nervous of his welding skills. Considering he is obviously looking to pull crazy g-forces, stuff like that needs to be done well. Many interesting ideas invaolved though.

Now with northstar V8, IRS, 20's n 22's
is it me, or is that frame made out of scrap?
I would have to say yes. It doesn't look like there is much quality at all in all of that hard work.
god i ended up thumbing thru 20-30 pages lol. its still not getting much better, but the guy does have knowledge. i think its just the way they build stuff in jamaica, build it cheap with what you have and just make it work, still scary though. and he just seems to be designing most of it as he goes and thats why the thing just looks all pieced together.

I give him props for taking on such a build and it seems like he is doing it all himself. The resources in Jamaica for such a build probably aren't the best. But when it all comes down to it, it seems like he is lacking in the quality and safety department. Like I said, to do something like this in a home garage and in such a country isn't easy.
His welds make me cry.
I applaud all the hard work he's clearly put in to literally build a one-off car. He has skill... he just lacks finishing skill from what I can see.
He keeps disregarding everybody's suggestion re his safety in certain aspects of this build.
I hope to see the end result, though. Looks damn neat.

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...
Wow, I hope he takes it easy. I see numerous failure points in the steering/suspension. Not to mention there are some things you just don't do in order to make maintenance easier down the line.
Also, running the alternator off of the driveshaft, but he still has that massive dampner on the front of the motor? What a waste.
I just couldn't take more than the first two pages, hopefully it gets better
