This is my first Retro build (actually my first ever road car build). I built this chassis following Mike Swiss' tutorial with a few mods to keep it D3 legal. Unfortunately, I have yet to run it.

Looks solid and well done! Should be a jet, if you get a good motor.
(Paint is very nice too)

Thanks Kyle, I'm looking forward to running with you guys in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to run and debug the car before then.

Looks great, Chuck !
Did you have to shave the pans a little to make 3.125 max D3 legal width ?

Yep, took a file to 'em to knock a bit of brass off. They were about 3.2 or so out of the bag.
