I cut out the cockpit today, had to measure and tape it several times before I it was to my liking, I probably have to ditch the bucket seats I made or trim them significantly, I sat in it and it's not very roomy but surely it's fun, like sitting in a classic Vette with a huge front end :lol: :lol:

I'm disappointed - I assumed you would build the motor from scratch! :doh:
