was gonna try that but didn't want to wait for parts. Well no longer goldtub , i cut the front about an inch to suck in the front width and since the stock tower wasn't gonna work anymore i made one out off aluminum!! all thats left to do is shorten steering set-up ,trim body some more then paint hook up elec's(b/l when i go back to work fulltime) and off to the park she goes

Kudo's....looks good.

LOL!!! back to the drawing board. i kind off realized that taking that much material from the front would weaken it , i was gonna get a buddy of mine to make an "I" piece of aluminum to tie the front nose piece to the rear tower , also Bob gave me some really good advise on other pieces to use to narrow the front, BUT i got bored took took it out on Monday ran fine in the park , did a couple of jumps off the side walk and then SMASHED head on to the curb and well everything(nose) bent back about an inch and made its self part of the steering!! luck nothing broke but my ego

if you plan on keeping the noseplate that narrow you might be able to use a kranzels terminator nose plate. they have the identical bolt pattern and are very strong.
