[QUOTE="Pat, post: 1273547, member: 17453"] [b]Ready to wheel...[/b] ...or done for now. I still have a long list of future projects, upgrades, changes, fixes, etc. But I got it out of the garage and did some yard wheeling this weekend. [img]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=78&pictureid=1199[/img] [img]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=78&pictureid=1200[/img] Here is the funky little dash I threw together using the stock instruments (modified slightly :redneck:) and some metal I had laying around. The heater controls are basically just an on/off switch for the heater and all the controls are no longer functioning. I don't need things like 'vent' and 'defrost' with no doors and windshield but the heat will be nice on cold night runs. :D [img]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=78&pictureid=1201[/img] Here is where the fuel tank now lives. I still need to tidy up the plumbing a little. I will upgrade to a fuel cell eventually for space/astetics but for now this tank serves its purpose just fine. [img]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=78&pictureid=1202[/img] I want to get a metal (aluminum) roof made but for now I put the old bikini top on. I took the channel off the top of the old windshield frame, cut 6.5" off each side, and screwed it into the tube.

[img]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=78&pictureid=1205[/img] My thoughts after a couple laps around the yard- -Leaf springs suck... I gotta change that soon. They squeak like mofos after sitting for 8 months. -I'm kinda tall so I wish I had mounted the seats a little lower. Headroom is sufficient but I will lower them another inch or two in the future. -I gotta get out and wheel this thing.
