Re: My new..... 71!
Great attention to detail and measurements.
 Sometimes at my current job I do machining on weldments such as your frame. This looks Alot better than the info that I get to work with.

Re: My new..... 71!
Not much to post about. Still waiting on Riggz to call me and take the frame to him. I have it ready for him now. It has the floor sitting in place but until I know where the body falls I can't hard mount it. Seats are just sitting there as well. Soon I hope it will be loaded up and on it's way to meet with the body.
I need to order some z bar to make the seat brackets or make some. I have a 67/72 polished tilt steering column to go in it also. The controller is a Navitas AC 850 amp with 7.5 K motor and 76 volt Lithium/Skunkworks battery combo, one of the biggest controller/motor/battery kits you can buy today. I ordered the water jug to use for the burnouts and will install a front disc brake lock to help.
