Brought her in the shop a couple of weeks ago and started the strip down. I let my kids choose the color of the cart a few years ago, and I hate it so its got to go. Tore the cart down, wire wheeled the entire frame and then sprayed with black bed liner

Got the Strech A-arm lift installed last weekend. I did make the decision to leave the heavy duty rear leaf springs and not go 3 link. Still need to be able to carry two 200lb men in the back, or hook up and drag around the race car.

The Predator 420 came in the from PFM racing yesterday. Last night got the CPP bracket installed and the motor sitting in place. Have the rough measurements on how to raise the motor 3" to clear the rear and make it adjustable front to rear and side to side. Tonight I will start fabricating the engine mounts and mounting the stock clutch to it. Have a used chrome 60 amp , 1 wire alternator I plan to mount and run off the stock pulley

Man, that thing is going to look good

You should check out Geoff's stuff over at Vegascarts.com

He is a site sponsor and has tons of performance parts for these clones, and is a super helpful and friendly guy
