Re: Rcr40-31

With the motor and trans connected and hanging there on the hoist, I had a flashback to the gazillion models I had built as a kid (and no-so-kid) with a drivetrain ready for install. This "kit" has the benefit of being much cooler and totally practical for later "display" as well.

It was a great feeling after the many trial fits and re-fits. I didn't want to cut too much from the chassis to make it fit and have a huge hole. I now need a starter to ensure it's all good.

Regardless, it looks great and once I get the suspension re-hung it'll be off to get a cage built.

Ah, progress!!!
