Just freshening up the chassis? Looks like you'll be busy for a bit.

| I like how you are running the fuel line. Got to heat the fuel before you burn it. Don't need a choke now. Looking good, I'm going to enjoy watching your build. Don't let me down |

| I don't know if you knew this, so let me help you out. This was supposed to take a couple years to get that far. Along the way have a great apiphany, take it all down and restart. Great work. Simple and shiny. The work is not simple, it's a real pain. I have learned that when your done and it looks easy, you did it right. |

| For the roll bar on the back, I did it where I added 2 down tubes that bolt up to the frame horns and sandwiches the body and bolts to the back portion of the cage. It helps the frame horns and rear of the body. It made the car stiffer too. I used 1 inch .120 DOM. Could not be happier. Just a thought. |
