    I'm going to attempt a first start tomorrow. All wired up, less a backup light, fluids in, cranks oil pressure.

    I put the body on, a serious struggle. I'm running 15-inch tires. What are you guys running for ride height, I have zero clearance body to rubber with 4.5-5" of height.

    289 FIA Complete Kit, ordered September 2021, received February 2022
    My plan is to build a tribute to CSX2345 as it raced in Europe in 1964 (with a few personal touches). Follow along as I fulfill a lifetime dream.
