Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I had a huge problem using the EMS billet hinges with my aftermarket fenders.
I wound up going back to stock hinges. 😩

Back on the ground. All body lines and gaps are right and ready for some fine tuning. All that is left is body work on hood, roof and firewall.
