Colour sounds good and as for power it should move pretty well with the plastic in it. Sounds like it will be a very nice cruiser and major head turner.

Kiid can't believe you haven't heard that term before? Fluffy was another one a few used to use. I personally liked the 308's. The LH I had with one was great! Also helped to have a 4 speed

Nope, first time I've heard it?
Going to attempt to narrow a hr front by around 100mm soon. Will update once its started.

I had a bloke tell me that you can shorten the control arms to increase guard clearance - might be worth looking into!
I look forward to your front end shortening - it is something I want to do on my yellow beast.
Good work to date, looking forward to more pictures!

Faark I'm getting old!
As for the front end keep us posted the teasers you've done so far is good. Interested to see where you cut it.

I like your humour Alistair. And the thing looks sick with those front runners up under there Kid61 .
Shortening a crossmember is a No No here in the beaurocrat state so I hope you quizzed the engineer

Ive been in a heavy duty accident where the modified car was impounded and gone over with a fine toothed comb ,If they found anything not approved Im sure the verdict would have been changed and I would have gone to gaol .... so its good to be covered aswell , I dare say track width will be measured should the unspeakable ever occur.
But yeah Ratbox I totally agree its something that can slide under the radar and honestly I dont see the problem with narrowing provided its structurally sound , too many doo gooders make the rules huh

Trial & error atm.. Just wanna see if it'll work foist... If people can fabricate new font ends I'm sure I'll be able to get approved on a modified one, should it be up to par
engineer says sounds ok in theory.
