I put an aluminum shield above the rear tire to keep all road grime out of the filter. I removed the aluminum fins behind the rear window and made them active to bring in fresh air directly to the air filter. The car is very strong. When I origionaly put it together I welded all the seams and panels completly. I got it as a basket case with NONE of the body panels, roof or rear framing behind the firewall.
