I love these little DIY open wheelers. I've always wanted to build something similar, but I just don't have the money or skill. I certainly have the time though

^^^^ beat me to it..

also, i have no pictures on me but a buddy and i made a mount for my 8500 escort radar that bolts to the roof (inside the headliner) and suspends the radar between the roof and the mirror. hides it completely from sight, and with a hardwire kit is invisible to prying eyes if you park in open lots like i do.

just an idea from my old car. i need to try and make one for my evo now

Have a lot respect for the time you've put in to that thing.
