pics clear up nicely once tapped on....the body in the last two pics is a go! no need to do anymore research. get it do an entered in botm....just let us all know what month so we can skip that one

As quick as this is, it was begging for more gear and more space. Power to spare. A real pleasure to drive.

A dry run, literally. I don't have much description because he has done so much to it that I can't keep up. The video is horrible, but the belt drive is really cool in person. No justice to it here.
