Stohr final mockups and chassis photos

Spring is in the air and my mind keeps wandering to racing. Good news is my car is coming back together quickly in the chassis department. Attached below shows the car in almost its final state at Carriage House Customs after some great work by Steve. The new engine was a hell of a lot more work than first thought as the new engine leans a lot more forward than the old one which required header mods as well as just the chassis work. In the end however it will be worth it if this thing is as bullet proof and reliable as I expect a EFI engine to be versus the old carbed on.

Another modification I had to make here lately was going with a custom oil tank versus the one I had purchased from Pegasus which was just too tall for the engine compartment. Its amazing how tightly packed the engine compartment is when you start to attempt to fab in what you need to support the engine.

Lastly I got my wiring harness tonight via UPS from George Dean and can't wait to hook it up to the bike and press the button and....of course have nothing happen. Its only my luck. I know George did a great job but as usual something has to go wrong.
