Up next was installing the front & rear wheel sub-assemblies

The Tie Rod "hole" lines up nicely, with the Pitman Arm

But, durin' steering "turning tests" I found that the Tie Rods "hit" the edge of the access holes
...&/so, had ta do some modifyin'

The hole needed ta be "moved" upwards & backwards...just a bit
...so, I used a "temporary pilot hole" ta "get 'er done

Only removed "this much"
...& a nice-n-clean cut

Yes! That's mucho bettero

Yup, the other side "clears" nicely, in both directions, too

Up next was ta get the Roll Bars installed

I "lined" the holes on the monocoque ta "pad" 'em a bit, as the bars "slide in"

Well...huh? I didn't take any pics of 'em installed
...I'll do better...next time

The EA rules require a 4" red triangle under/around the Main Power Cut-Off switch
...so, I got some Permanent Red Vinyl
...& drew up a 4" x 4" x 4" triangle

Then, made up a template (outta some packaging plastic)

Checked (test fit) how it would look on the dashboard

Then, me & Ducky went ta workin' with the Vinyl

We gots us a 4" x 4" x 4" red triangle
...with nice-n-curved corners

Even though it is brand new paint
...I still gave 'er a wipin' off (just some Alcohol)
...ta make sure the sticker "sticks" goodly

Installed & workin' on the "cut-out" for the Circuit Breaker

Punched a couple a holes
