    are those panels fastened to the body in any fashion or did you just slip 'em in behind the cage??

    alteredpilot, I used adhesive to fasten the material to the side of the body. I set the whole car up so I can pull the throttle cable and the steering shaft and yank the body off the car, it only take about 15 minutes to do, that's also why I didn't bring the seat backrest up over the body.

    purplepickup, thanks George, took it out last night, it's gona take some getting use too, it's like a little go cart, should have lots of fun in L'ville and Mokan.

    zonkola, here a couple of pics of the engine on the stand, other than the intake and headers, it's the first stock engine I've put together since I was 15.

    Looks pretty trick for a 'stock' engine! I hadn't seen the black wrinkle paint/polished fin treatment applied to that combination, but it works.
