Since the last photos, we ended up
- overhaul the pedal system (now adjustable up to 8 in)
- added MCP hydraulic brakes
- 10" Brake rotor which we will probably ditch
- re-worked the steering for a higher angle
- Added the body panels front grill and window

We still need to add
- GPS Speedometer
- Fuel Gauge
- Switch Panel
- Front and Rear Lights
- Head Unit and 4 in Speakers
- Alternator
- Wide Body Kit
- Spoiler
- Rear Exit Dual Exhaust

Also thinking about doing a Rotax 670 swap! Good or Bad Idea?

would have been cooler if it was a little bit taller of a body and had a cutout roof and a front engine

I actually prefer the look of it without the body panels. That frame design is awesome, very different than any other I've seen.

 

[TNThomas]

Very cool! Looking great!

WOW

 

[Denny]

Cool, but looks like you won’t get thrown clear if if you roll it.

You actually could be thrown clear of it in a rollover. It would have to snap your legs off to do it, but anything's possible.
Roll bar. One that won't bend. Cheaper than a HANS to keep your head attached to your shoulders.

I like it, and your humility is inspiring.

You have the only one of that cam in existence for a 420 according to a few searches.

Hi there, I know I’m a little late to the party. Epic build! I love those old chargers. I was wondering what kind of quick disconnect setup you’re using

 

[Denny]

I doubt he’ll be back. He was just looking for likes from the uninformed masses. Won’t get that here. If something is unsafe we will call it out. Or if something is done poorly. With all that said he probably used a quick release for a race car from Summit or Jegs.

Ah well . Thanks for the tip. I was just hoping to compare it to my own setup
