Hey Justin =D.

Make sure you let me know when that crank comes in...and also if you end up needing help on the rods.

And when the time comes for heads and a cam...you know where to come to =D.

More on topic though...it's not all that bad man...with all the parts you've got coming in for it, it should be a great little runner in no time! The stock type motors make for real sleepers in ultra light cars lol.

i'll let you know when it comes. when i get my rear suspension bought is when the car starts coming to together and it goes on a BIG diet. what do you think about the selection so far?
