The powerplant!!





Undercarrainge has exhaust clearance. It will actually route through the drive shaft tunnel, through the frame, and exit behind the wheels.

looks pretty good,How are you gonna finish the front of the frame rails and whats the rear of the frame rails look like.Only thing i see that is iffy is the cross brace in the middle I'd go bigger with it and if you got room for a watts link or sliding wish bone will make it handle better.
