Well, we got the motor and trans mounted, cv's figured out, with around 20" of rear wheel travel, the cv joint never sees over 22 degrees. That is sweet! :mrgreen:

Hyde, Do not let tires stop you I have a set of X tracks on five lug jackman rims for rears and I have a set of unmounted used front tires like the ones on my car. The fronts are for sale or trade and the rears are like new and you are welcome to use them for a race or two. If push come to shove you can use the fronts off of my woods buggy they havent seen the road in like 10 years and are practically new (5 lug also). Let me know I will be in next week.

My next car will be a-arm and hopefully look as good as that! Almost cut the front off mine and converted it. Your work looks GREAT! Love it! Maybe you should just keep that one and give me the yellow car. California asked me friday when I was coming out to run score series haha!

I wanted to be done with it this coming weekend so we can wrap up the A-arm car, but looks like that chance is dwindiling. I'm still waitin on my new fuel cell..

Built the body in about 9 hours. Didn't bead-roll the sides yet. Still needs a firewall. It was up at Drews for the swap meet, and if you saw it, the body still has the plastic on it thats why it looks like it already ran 5 races :mrgreen:

I parked it next to my car for a few pics (yesterday was my buggys first birthday :cry: )
