charlie it looks like its a little funny to sit on now but you do get the good look at the tracks as you run on them. how are you going to do the seatting on your car ?

It's going to come out nice. You will have the most comfortable riding car in the club. Are the sides cut from steel plate? Looks like 1/2 inch plate from the pic. Now you just need to convince your dad to buy an engine!!! There is a nice RMI kit on DLS right now.

That has got to be a heavy car. But with that much weight down low it will be very stable and go through the yard switches empty wit no problems.
