Fabr's got a few years, I mean learning experience on some of us. If he a Fast weren't so far I'd just go hang out in shop.  Some of that has got to soak thru this thick skull.

Hay speak for your self there fabr.  Now I'll just go change my shirt that my chest just busted out of and buy a bigger hat. LMAO.

Thanks Carl I really think that your selling your self way short.  I have't seen you riding the tool box much more then a lot of us.  You got skills that I would like to have.  Mainly when it come's to sorting out the computer stuff in the bike motors you do pretty dam good.   Me not so much.

I just like to pass on what I can. Years ago a couple of guys sort of took me under their wing,why I'll never figure out,but I am forever grateful and feel I should help others the same as thery did for me.

Been a bit busy but have made a bit of buggy progress also. Ever had something that just made you hate it? Well I did on the front upper mounts  soooooo,out came the cutoff wheel and just 12 hours later I'm as happy as I'll get . Body will be over most of it,only the bypass tops will be seen with body on. I had to make the mounts much trimmer to be able to do that without obstructing front line of sight .

Found out the headers I have missed the target by about 1/2 inch. mThe way the muffs have to be placed to get past the radiator makes it necessary to just do as planned in the first place and make from scratch. I'll be using the ICENGINEWORKS header modeling blocks. I'll post up some pics soon of them in use. One of the things they have you do is mount your collectors before beginning on tube layout. I made a slip fit mount for the muffs so that when doing engine removal or maintenance It only takes removing the v band clamp and POOF off come the muffs. I really really like quick and easy. Trying to do this car like my race cars have been along those lines . I'm a lazy bastard at heart.

I'm guessing you wont be roostin anyone at spring LS with this car?  ;D

Really diggin this car, esp the size.  Never been a fan of the limo sand car with seating for 12.  This thing is nothing but motor, seat, and go fast pedal!  Driven by a loose nut!  Just like a drag car I'm sure, should be a blast.
