Hmm, it looks to be as long as the original one in my early car with only the smaller diameter section above the nose tubes. Granted by the looks of chassis through the clear body it looks like the body still has a bit lower to go.

you can always put the mount on top of one of the steerings posts. imo the body drops on a little easier with both body mounts at the same angle, and the front mount off the kickup feels crooked.

I can get clips in it. Just didn't for the pics.

Well missing 3 white stealth spacers and need to order some new screws for the stealth. Just need to get around to painting some other projects before painting the body on this thing. Then it'll be shelved for awhile. In the near future I'll work on modifying it.

With my old Caddy.

Are those some of Dustin's aluminum CVD shafts in that car?

Came in a lot. I don't know anything about them. Never seen cvd's with a removable pin. Just thought the blue looked good.

Well the temperature jumped to over 15 degrees so I figured I'd slap some paint on this joker real quick. Tired of seeing it sitting there unpainted. Still have to get electronics for it and put some gears in it too. But it'll probably sit like this for awhile!

Awesome paint scheme

I really dig the colours mate

This thing got a little attention. Eventually I'll installed JConcepts steering setup in blue as well as the nose tubes. Then I'll look to get a blue screw kit. I doubt I'll get much crazier than that. But happy with the tub now.

Next to my early CE for comparison

I like that shade of blue! I think that is the shade scr8p was trying to get on his? His did not quite turn out but still looks great! Then again it could just be the light in the photo! Where did you get your ano done?

Same place I have mine done. The blue looks different in every picture
