    My build starts Today 2-20-2024

    Last night I got The entire (Stage 1) kit safely at home after a 850 mile trip. I tarped it all but it really wasn't needed as it didn't rain during the trip. Stage 1 boxes (all 29) fit in the bed of a older LWB Ranger just fine........Now the REAL Fun begins.

    Ordered some POR-15 on ebay already.

    doing some of the inventory tonight and digging out the front arms to paint.

    Have fun. It took me about 6 months to get it to go kart stage and another 3.5 years to get it finished to the point I could register and drive it legally.

    Have fun! 👍 If you are like me building the chassis and wiring will be straight forward. I found the body work to be frustrating.
