    These update videos are great to see. It serves as a good reminder to the young guys getting into the hobby that it's ok to have car that's a work in progress. It's easy to find high dollar builds on KZread and insta and get demotivated by lack of progress on what you personally own. Keep up the hard work kid, the car looks great!

    Nice build. The RX-7 FB doesn't look dated and that's a great color. I've never heard of a redline beeper, I guess it was easier than a rev limiter with 80s electronics. I'd be cautious of running the fog lights with the covers on. The heat from the halogens has been known to melt them. You can get clear stone shields if you're concerned about rocks. Reach out to Daniel Stern Lighting if you want to give your 7" headlights modern performance while still keeping the old-school halogen look. You need to convert the choke pull to deploy a smoke screen or something cool. You should find someone with a 3D printer to convert the power window/speaker trim piece into a BFB-compatible cupholder.

    Not gonna lie, i came for the Rotary content, but i am staying for your reviews! They are really good, and wil lbe watching in the future! Recently saw your 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger review, never knew about this car! It's amazing to see such a car from US at the time of Muscle cars.
