still lots of trimming and other things to get the front end where its ready to paint, but you get the idea.

the fender exits are 100% done but are very close... will cut them a little more flush with the body and add a ring around the hole....

getting pretty excited and hope we still meet our deadlines to make it to Ga!

Congratulations on the certification. Are the limiters on the shock tower to help with the suspension or the engine movement?
