Well after taking a small break to handle some house projects, I was able to get bac to working on this. Was able to get the rear of the frame worked on and ready for some final clean up. The major frame mods seem to be done and the suspension is where I want it for ride height. Forgot to get pics of that but I'll get some for the next post. The next big thing to tackle is getting the engine height and angle set up. Pretty sure I'll need to have the engine mounts halfway up the block. The pic shows about what I'm thinking. I t will need to come down a hair in the front to get the engine more level. Anyone have any tips or better ideas for engine height or mounts?

That last set of wheels/tires with the smooth center, where are those from? It's a set it quickly printed from a file online. they are a really good-looking set of wheels for slat flat style. I can post the file up if you want it. Im sure the designer would appreciate you not pirating his files so he doesn’t get paid the measly $5 he asks people to pay for that wheel / tire combo. He already offers a bunch of stuff free, out of kindness and love for the hobby.

Fully planned on posting the link for the cults page. Any reason you feel like coming off aggressively?

Fully planned on posting the link for the cults page. Any reason you feel like coming off aggressively? Because you said you’d post “the file” 🤷♂️. And people shouldn’t do that - it’s stealing. Here’s the LINK for the file: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/hot-rod-dirt-racing-wheels-tires-w-spinnerAnyway, cool build! Keep going!

Thank you! Some really cool stuff there! As I am unfamiliar how these things work...you pay the price listed there and he sends you a file that you can use to print it?
