PICS - I like comparing them side-by-side so I can more easily see the evolution.

Obviously, I added the body and seat sheet metal. I decided on a fitted fuel tank some teams used, and I also did some rescaling to improve the relationship of parts. I'll continue to add interior bits like the leather seat cushion and butterfly steering wheel, etc. I've been putting off the engine which in itself isn't too bad but it's the plumbing and wiring I dread.

Yes, I saw one adjustment. I noticed that you shortened the rollbar.

I didn't tweek the roll cage. There is a slightly higher angle which gives that effect. I did add some cross bracing and tweeked the size of the wheels and tires. Small changes, really.
