A Little Incentive...

Amazing what a trip to Stoneleigh can do for the incentive.

Got home tonight and decided I'd seen enough of the chassis on the spit so though it was time to get her on the floor.....






Quite a nice feeling methinks





It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Daddylonglegs - Have you used wood as dummy front shocks?

Yup, keeping it green and all that

I just needed to get the baby rolling to give me a boost.

Next step is to sort out shock mount placing and shock lengths (overtime should pay for the new shocks )
