Thanks. It definitely looks good, but we'll see how it performs later this week. I hope it's at least competitive.

I like the black wheels! How did you lower the body? What changes to the interior?

To lower the body I cut the front and rear valances from the chassis and glued them back on the body. Then I trimmed the body posts a little. Then I cut the bottom of the interior off about 1/4" and glued the drivers seat and driver directly to the chassis, this way it still has the roll cage intact. :)

I didn't notice the map pages before on that shot, Ken. You got Jeremy, my old haunt, Memphis, Rusty, a much-missed HRW member who died a few years back, yourself, the Bootheel folks and almost Harry and neighbors in one shot.

I like the stance on your build Retro! I think I'm going to lower mine as soon as possible. I might use a tray interior though.

Nice work Jim. Should run sweet. I am with everyone else and think the stance is perfect.

Yeah Rob, I'm close to several of our members here on HRW. Harry is about 300 miles from here, which isn't too bad. :)
