Nice build Sandy

Mild steel or cromo? What's the wheel base going to be on that puppy?

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Looking really really good!

Any concerns on the 2d?  They used to say 500, now it is 300?  Lots of guys at 400, just curious if you had any concerns.

Other than reverse not too worried.  I run my equipment hard, but I am not hard on on it if you know what I mean.  I added the bearing upgrades and not planning on being a wheelie machine and since I have broken my back 2 times on my dirtbike I am not planning on any long high jumping.  I like hauling the mail and maybe sliding into a corner and then nailing it out.  I added a sway bar for that reason.  Definatly will not be the fastest, but I bet I have a load of fun.  Anytime you can get out and play it's all good.

Hope we can run together at LS some time.

300KW worth of LS1 shouldn't leave you lagging too far behind...

Looks like it's going to be a real sweet ride!
