You realize that you have your directional tires on the wrong sides, right?

I swear I only had one beer before putting those on. And maybe a little bourbon. I'll just turn the frame around and it will be all good. ;)

Just a word of support from a 16 year builder of these cars. Divide up your build into sections like front suspension, rear suspension, etc. That allows you to complete one project and then move on to another. "plan your work and work your plan". This allow you to minimize your frustration and gain a measure of success all along the way. Get stuck, move to the next item and then come back. Don't allow your self to hurry. Take it slow and try to build everything you think you will need in the future now. Take it from experience. Plan your needs and build once. Wish I had followed my own advice.

You are right Mike. The first 2 weeks I had to go back and undo things I had out of sequence. I didn't plan to fail, I failed to plan. Now its one project at a time. Yesterday and today it was fabricating and installing brake lines and fittings. Completed. Tomorrow I start fuel tank.
