A proper engine cover will cut out most noise and heat ( yea, it gets warm in the cabin). Car is a hoot to drive. There are frame rails welded in where the floor was cut out. Uses the corvair trans from 66 and stock axle, so long as you don't dump the clutch it holds up well. Car was built in 79 and has been on the road continously since with no breakage and has been run hard. I will autocross it when it's finished.
