    Looking great!. Loved the go kart video. Engine looks and sounds gorgeous! Is it a BluePrint engine? sounds like it might be a bit beefier than what they sell. What cam and HP is it?
    Look forward to more pics and video.

    I installed the sliding rag top a while ago. I do like it, but there are some trade offs. I don't want to bust up the OP's build thread so I'll PM you.

    Tony sent me the new FFR headlights a while back, they look awesome and will have them on mine this week.

    I sandblasted the housings and painted them to match the cars paint. Still need to polish and smooth the finish.
