    Thanks for that tail gate shot. I have them holes also. I thought reflectors or something would go there. Your real close to having a lot of fun. Keep going.

    Looks good in color, Sammy. Is that Harvest Tan? Basecoat clearcoat or single stage?

    Thanks
    Generic S-W color but could be a poor substitute for harvest tan, not what I was after, and single stage over epoxy primer

    Well if it won't fit it'd be easier to just send the seat to me then to redo the RC. :D

    Oh it fits, it fits just fine! Rear passengers need to be below 5'9 to be safe though... :)
    Still don't got the chassis.
    Walcks needs to hurry up and get my seals to me! (well, more like UPS)
    You'll get an overall in due time man!

    Somewhat of a major problem
    The shop which has the chassis is owned by my neighbor, but, he's doing seals. He's a really reputable guy, I trust him with the vehicles 100%
    So he pulls the timing cover for the new seal and he calls me says come over when I get a chance, sounds worried.
    I get down there, and it appears my engine was dropped sometime, or the timing chain was defective. I have maybe 5 miles on the rebuild and 3 of the links width wise (not the links, the parts of the links) were broken. It looks like it was dropped on that spot, or the chain was defective. He said he will not put the cover on unless I replace the chain and I agree 100%
    So now I have to play the waiting game again for a new chain :(

    Sammy,

    Your luck is about that same as mine with these rigs. I had to rebuild the m38's motor twice. The po rebuilt it before I bought it, it chewed a valve guide and I had to do a complete rebuild on it. Now it runs like a swiss watch

    It's not under warranty anymore and the guy who did it didn't remember me when I called him about some work on a friends engine less than a year later... Not recommending them anymore.
