So many times I have wished I would have gone the body off route. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming. I love to watch these things coming together.

Sounds good Ben. I like the motor work portion the best. I think it is the easiest in respect to the total car.

Like said earlier your car is going to be great and it has been a good time watching it progress along the way.Tuxblacray2008-12-28 05:57:42

Sorry....I can't help but laff at this pic....it looks so cartoonish!!
The first time I saw this, I thought..." DAM!!! That's gotta be the biggest balancer I ever done seen!!!"
                                        

I know it's just the aspect ratio changed with the thumbnail pic, but.....it's still funny...

Joel,
I gotta tell you that the first time I saw that picture I stared at it for 5 minutes trying to figure out what is was. I thought maybe a new type of gadget for degreeing the cam! I finally blew the picture up to normal size to figure it out.
Nice job documenting and sharing everything with us!
Rodney
