Love those spindle mounts
If you got any tranny paint left over I may be able to use it, if you dont need it of course.

time maybe around a week or two.no longer than a month.
i only have to fork out alittle more for wheels .tyres rear brakes and ali hubs.
just about every thing has come back at the same time so it is just up to me to find the time.
cage will be finished tommorrow.front brakes finished later tonigh,beam back together tommorow and then finish steering and start assembly of everything else.
it may wishful thinking but i would like to drive it to the nationals.
thanks for the kind words of encouragment.i will keep the pic's comming

The beam may look bent due to the lens he may be using on the camera ("fish eye" deforms pictures) but I know what you mean about it "looking" bent ???
