Thanks guys. Mark, the drop is too short but still works. Thats probably why it looks a little funny.

It's not that it looks funny. It's a great job. I'm not one for making EVERYTHING period correct. I'm for " drive it like you stole it"* And having fun with them before I forget where I put them. Or I die and they get thrown away!

This politically correct stuff is BS.

I agree Mark, but I do try to go for period correct. Makes it look cooler. I then also get to see how they would have acted on the track "back in the day".

The pans and guide lead are correct for the era. No, still inline.

I had to narrow the width and move the pans back a bit.
