Congrats! I bet it was great to fix anything that was bothering you with the other car and have it finished pretty quickly too. Looks great I am happy for you after all the stuff you went though you deserve it brother. By the way I still don't have my factory tach working it is really messing with me as that is the only thing left to do except tune on it etc... Drove mine for the first time on friday it feels like it is going to be a winner lol!

Hey Dave, glad to hear it's driving.... what was the issue you were chasing?

I've been out of town and will be for a lil while longer I want a ride when I get back

Good luck, tell everyone I said what's up.

Very nice. Your going to love the BS3 controlled 80E with the Rossler brake. Just let go of the button and steer. You planning on locking it up at the track?
Did you get the pan from Rossler? I haven't gotten my 80 back from Rossler yet with the new tricks done to it. He said he was having pans made. My biggest complaint to him was having to use the deep cast pan. Ate up lots of ground clearance.
