No pictures, but got a bunch of stuff done today! Trying to make things such as steering (at the moment) with backup/redundant fasteners/welds, that way if something actually fails I can actually get the car safely stopped. My thinking is better safe than sorry!

You putting a twostroke in it? Maybe.. :-)  Got the front suspension back in after all the brackets and mounts were final welded and also worked on the rear a little. Mike Harper is making my rear hubs, so had to do a quick mock-up and see how it all fits in the back.

Brad,  I have fallen asleep in my car before but I never had a pillow  :cheers:

I am studying your swing up  steering wheel system very closely.  Mine is very flimsy and I have been asked to "refine it "LOL.   How will it interact with the canopy?

Congrats on the milestone and Again   :cheers:

I haven't finished the back "seat" tubes which is why the pillows are there! The steering setup is more than stiff enough and I'm still figuring out the canopy in my head! I'll make it work.
