    It does well over 100 MPH and feels smooth and stable. Braking power is awesome on this light car. It is safe, can cruise anywhere.

    Narrowed the Toyota rear axle 6" using components from a Ford narrowing kit. Resplined axles after taking a little temper out of them. Will put in larger, more offset wheels.

    Had to make new exhaust headers. Hung A/C compressor where air pump was. Used brake booster from Toyota. Intergrated all wiring from Toyota to Metropolitan. What a nightmare!

    Dropped in engine, electric fan between radiator and condensor. Did not have to cut transmission tunnel. Shifter came out in right place. Lots of work in this step.

    CRAP! I didn't mean to make it a gasser! A 400# lighter car lets the front ride 2" too high. Back to cutting out 1 coil, lowering spring basket right to 13" tire height, and putting 15" wheels and tires on rear.
