Message	Is the stock chassis a requirement of the racing organization? With all of the custom work you're doing a pure tube chassis would have been more efficient (time, mass, and stiffness-wise). My apologies if you already addressed this in one of your previous threads. Nice workmanship btw! Your dimple die is getting a workout :) ________________________________________ NA to TT, starting from the ground up... Proper check valve inspection per the FSM...
