glkad to see someone has that hood and putting it to use..

It was somewhat of a pain in the ass to work with, but im glad I was able to make it work.

Rig is looking really good man... Keep it up.

I was at the powder coater today and they said they do sprint car chassis for $175. I told the gal that our chassis are a bit wider but for the most part the same. She said probably around $200 then. Then 20% off that!

If the hood and grill are in good shape I would be interested.Let me know.Build looks good by the way.

As it sits right now its almost ready to fire, Im waiting on a couple of fittings for the fuel system. I need to add some oil and charge the shocks and rebuild my CV on the rear driveline. Ill also be building a 1/8" alluminum roof.

Definitely once I get everything in order, and all the bugs worked out.

I remember when mine was all new and perdy. That said, I cannot wait to see that thing on its lid.

You should see it with the skins on, way too perdy! Itll be on its lid in no time! Its whole life its been carefully taken care of in the garage, itll learn its true purpose soon enough while it gets the **** beat out of it in the woods :beer:

You'll probably need to get it out into the rocks to really beat the **** out of it :fawkdancesmiley:

Engine runs, sounds like a monster truck. Spent some time getting all of the air out of the coolant system and charged my shocks. Its now sitting on rubber and that much closer to driving down the road :awesomework:
