Just wait until you drive it next to an 18-wheeler!!! THEN, is when you realize how small it is :shock:

Congrats on your progress :cheers:

I plan on using a 3800 in my build, so I'm following yours closely. Don't have the engine yet so it's nice to see pics in the chassis to get an idea of the overal dimensions.

I widened the nose today so I can start on the radiator mounts. Can someone tell me how tall Jack's scuttle is at the engine side flange?

It's a 94 to 00 Honda civic from amazon. I thought it might be to small but a fellow locoster is running the same engine in his with no over heating problems.
