Uber cool Jet. EASILY the best cuda to date.

I don't want to start a shit fight: how did you work out your trailing links (c'mon, you knew that was coming ;D) as they don't seem to attach at the points Camel illustrated.
Cheers!

Hmmm

Excellent job mate.  You racing at Mogumber?  I'm heading out to have a look.

to think, I started the same day Jet did.  And all I've got to show for it is some bent tube and scattered parts!

Awesome.

I was sitting here for a moment thinking.  Do all these guys in Australia have the same dash configuration or what.  Then I realized it was the same car. lol

Doug,

that would be 600 kilograms.

These younger Aussies wouldn't realise that the hash symbol (#) is used in the US (and was once used here) to indicate 'pounds'.

A Cuda weighing 600 pounds would be nice.....

BTW, anyone know what CWT actually means?  Seriously, the '#' symbol was fairly common, and I recall the abbreviation 'cwt' but don't know what it actually expands to.  I have to move my lathe and the documentation says it weighs 80 cwt.

cwt = hundred weight.

one cwt = one hundred something. I think it's pounds. My old man told me he used to drive around in a nine cwt Morris van for the company he worked for in England.
