Wow that's looking nice, and that's a hell of a battery you got there, it should give you plenty of punch and wheel speed...I also like all the aluminumparts too, I see those in my future...

here's the tube frame plans, the shock and link holes aren't put in yet....each color line will be all one lenght of 3/16" brake line in that color....the blue lines will will be 3 pieces, one below and 2 above the red lines....each square is 1"x1" so this will be within comp spec's.......bob   ....
