Barely cleared a wimpy little 235 tire - gotta get some dish the other way on the rims later to get some meat back there.
Finally snipped the cage off, and have been working on the motor mounts - locking it down solid. The point is to make fabricated steel mounts that appear to be vintage castings.
Please ignore the lumpy welds, it's all going to be ground down and blended. I was pushing it to the max, on the edge of blowing holes, then building up enough weld to shape it. The camera flash actually hides the actual heat zone - had her nice and cherry red by the time I made it around the tubes.
I've just started scratching out a model for a slightly
enhanced "T" grille shell.
