Sidewinder gets hidden pretty well. Alot better than expected. What carbies are you running there?
Where can I find a link as to how the apron is bolted on?? Das, can you make a fibreglass one (i have a sherman one) bolt on and off like this??? (ie,
not take the gaurds off?)

I'm sure you could make a fibreglass one work with a bit of effort to strengthen the sides that clamp between the guards and body.
Cheers

Hi Dave, so is there HP gains ?
Here's mine....just the standard ones.
Note the little breather tube beside the ram for the pilot jets....this stops them getting blocked, which is handy in a tight engine bay!

Bump for an awesome car!
Saw you today at the Caltex in Rydalmere.
If you weren't chatting to the fellow who was behind you, and in a bit of a rush, I would have been all over it.
Sounds excellent, and looks completely unreal!
Great work all round.

Good to hear you've still been giving it a good caining Craig - something I never really had the chance to do (still remember the joy ride you took
me on a couple years back at the nats - I did build it swing axle to go in straight lines you know!)....makes it more fun going around corners I
guess!

I ask in jest, but also semi serious.
I was showing a mate of mine the build thread for this, and he asked if it was up for grabs and if so what cashola would be required to acquire said
vehicle!.
So if it were by chance to be offered Mr Craig what figures you looking at ?
If it's not, I'll just tell him so.
I saw the activity on the topic so thought I'd ask.
Matt.

Alrighty. Could you maybe then please fwd to me current specs & pics showing the car and current condition. Interior, exterior shots. Motor
options and price. Anything that has changed from what can be seen in Al's build thread.
Any areas that might require attention etc!.
I can chat to him then with correct current info, not just pics from the build.
Thanks mate, Matt.
