Thanks for sharing.
Looks well built. What engine is in there?

Egad.......................does that means it's..............an automatic???
I kid, I kid, the chassis assembly, engine, and front end looks pretty impressive.
Hi Guys, here is some mechanical details for those that may have interest: custom chassis, '99 Cadillac Northstar powertrain, modified '88 Fiero front suspension, 4 wheel power disk brakes, rack and pinion, 5 link rear suspension.

I assumed 'Northstar' referred to the manufacturer of the Spyder, not the engine.
I'm not really a Cadillac fan so I don't know what their engines are called.
Wow, that's some build. 
Any overheating issues?
sounds like that Johnny Cash song about stealing parts out of a car manuf.
Holy Shut the front door, that's way too cool! Gee Mr. Wizard, is it fast?
No overheating issues. It has two john deere alum radiators(one on each side) plumbed in series. Seems to work well so far. The fans are controlled by the ecm and have manual override switches.
