Very nice!

Tucson, eh? Me too. (Near UofA). Very Happy

I go to Bugs and Buggies, but tend to lean toward Chirco, as I grew up on the east side and used to go there a lot.

I'm currently doing a +6 (maybe +8? ) for my baja. I just rebuilt the Zenith last night, runs like a top again.

I definitely like that cage closer in to the engine like it is. I've seen too many with about a foot between the exhaust and the rear of the cage. nice work.
