    Mine would have:

    hood scoop
    wire wheels

    I notice it also has a place to put in the wheel width.

    Which do you think would be more accurate? I'll need to rely on this to avoid tickets until I can get the speedometer calibrated.

    As I get closer to the day I can order, I've been formalizing plans for the drivetrain.

    I've always loved Cleveland-headed motors, but want an 8.2" alloy block motor for the light weight. I've...
