No not a strip car, I was going for sleeper until i realized i wont be able to put a hood on it. So so much for the stock look. The suspension is stock as of now, but its still under construction. Putting the engine in today was a big step.

There would have to be some mods to the hasport motor mounts to get the engine to sit lower for the hod to get on. On top of the it would still stick up a little bit. I am not worried about the hood, wiring up the ecu is going to be a pain in the ass.
