Thanks everybody for the compliments. The Color is Metallic Magenta, I did all the bodywork But I had sombody else spray it cause I (A) never did it before (B) didnt want to get overspray all over everything. I dont think I'm gonna make Boerne this year :o( . My goal was to be ready for Salado and I still have a HEAP of work to do but so far I'm on schedule!! I'll post more pics later, Fred.

Double whatever time you have alloted for wiring. I've spent a good 40 hours so far.

Hey Cory, I'm feelin ya on the wiring, jbstown is a wealth of info, (thank Goodness)he should teach JC electronics. I still gotta hook up back brakes and then that pile of wires I'm dreading is at the top of my list. Then I get to "follow the Electrons" thru about 3000 feet of copper!!!

It's amazing how much wiring there is. I blew thru the majority of a 500 foot spool
