Very cool,big fan!
First mod should be to add about another two feet to the height of that roll bar!Way too close to the occupants.

Looks like lots of fun
Maybe a couple of feet on the nudge bar. . . can't be too safe

Looks like a nice new money pit.

Need to get that over to ds for a full cage and front and rear end kit! Get a move on and it can come on the fall trip.

No suspension changes will be done to it as of right now. ;) ;) ;)

Doing to make it road worthy first.

Wiring on this car is a rat nest to say the least. :o :o :o

Well I got it road worthy and have but about 600 miles on it so far.  ;D ;D ;D

Install new a tack, oil pressure, and voltage gauges. This also includes fixing most of the wiring nightmare and some of the oil leaks on the engine. It's like an old Harley, it marks it's territory right now. LMAO LMAO

The engine and transaxle NEEDS to be overhaul. I'll get that all done this winter.

DS, if I put my rail engine on the fiberglass, it would do 2 things to me. Drain my wallet, having to run the 114 oct. fuel and my butt would probably be in jail from rising to much hell on the road.  ;D ;D ;D

Example, when your engine is making a horable noise, and even after doing everything possible to fix it you drive it anyhow.  Til it goes kaboom.

Self control would not have allowed that Go-pro moment.   ;D  Thanks.  That was one of the best memories ever, swaping that motor.  Amazing what we'll doo to ride.
