Hoping you'll grace us with a video of it running around, just to hear the thing in action.
I still need to get the new GoPro mount 3d printed and then I'll get some video driving it around. It was so hot I didn't do much to the car through the summer. Once it began to cool off in August I did some additional tuning work to it and have driven it around outside town a couple times. There has been talk of getting back out to that cruise in with at least one other car from work but that hasn't happened.
I need to do better, don't even have any good new pictures

Every new picture is a good picture - that thing looks awesome.
Yeah, this thing is way cooler than anything I've built. Thanks for taking us along!!
Cruise in last night, ended up with decent looking company. The Dino and Jag both got there after I did, maybe I'm the only one but I get a feeling of pride and accomplishment when I go to something like that and cars that I think are some of the coolest there park next/near to me. Maybe that's just me being weird though. I did talk to more people last night than the other two car show outings with the car combined I believe even though I was only there for about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Was going to go out again today to another show this morning but rain put a damper on those plans.
Finally have a way to strap the car into the trailer after a year. Planning to take the car to a little show and hang out over in west Tennessee tomorrow.

I've been looking at that style of wheel tie downs as I have a BUNCH of salvaged Etrack. How is the Etrack attached to your floor?
I have similar for my F500, I have bolts with big fender washers on the back side of the floor plywood. That said, my car weighs 650lbs without driver.

Bolted through the plywood, I cut 16 dogbone washers out of 3/16 on the plasma table to clamp to the back side. Each section of E Track has 8 bolts.
Made it to the he show, on the way home now. Was a good time and maybe drummed up some work for the shop. And the Belair won a best in show trophy.
Well I tried. I went for a drive today and remembered to take the GoPro with me, unfortunately I left the external mic at the house so the audio is almost entirely garbage. To top that off I didn't check the camera angle at any point until I was back home so most of the screen is just the back of my helmet.
So the video is all a bust, I did take a couple decent pictures though, so that's all I have to share.
Edit:
So here is a mash up I uploaded of the parts that aren't completely useless.
