W-409 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Another truly amazing build in the works here! Every time I see a new update, my jaw finds its' way on the floor, even though I know it's gonna be an awesome update. Great work with the chassis and engine, they both look very good. But the alternator bracket caught my eyes, too. I could swear it is a Photo Etch part if I didn't know that you made it yourself. Rock on, John!
