Do you have a Sawzall, a bench vise, a 3/8 drill and some hand files or an angle grinder?

Before you get too far into your build thread start editing your photos before downloading by cropping them ever so slightly. This will keep them from turning sideways.

Bob,

I’ve been waiting to send mine in until things had settled down a bit.

With 3.55 gears it should be okay with a stock converter, something like a 2500 stall would be nice though.

All of the above.
