    Looks like you're gonna need a small guy! I'm available and I don't require much maintenance. Love this thing!!

    image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg I'm terrible at doing updates and all that stuff but here is a few updates on the kamicrosley. Got al THREE pedals in and got the chassis painted. Now it's time to throw it together for meltdown drags!

    I still see the front spring mounting at the same angle [caster] as the axle? Any movement which is generated from the radius rod pivot point will try to bend spring for and aft..Spring should be mounted at same angle [I.E. perpendicular to] the radiuos rods for non binding movement..

    Went 10.90 at 126mph with leaving at an idle and slowly getting into it. But here's what it does half throttle. Photo credit to Matt Arnold Photography image.jpeg

    I was sitting in the last section of bleachers on Saturday bight and watched the car go down the track. Man you have to have some serious Testicular Fortitude to drive that psychotic beast

    The other night when I saw it run it looked like all four wheels would come off of the ground every time you shifted:)

    Would love to see it "fully dressed"( with front fenders & hood). Maybe even a video of the run (Inside & outside view) 4 speed?! WOW!!!

    Soooo...I guess the concern about the front axle/radius rods and my concern about the 2 by square tubing section (the kick up part) was needless?!
    Looks like a BAD'UN!!
