 Aluminum is .050 and some .040 on body.Oil pan and tank are .060. Going to do more welding today try to finish rear upper and lower panel and install strips on bottom for dzus fasteners(last minute thought) was going to dus whole lower panel but figures welding top part and dzus bottom to allow access to wheelie bar and chute hookups wuold be stronger.

 Thinking about opening welding school next I should be good by the time I finish it,maybe old ,blind and most already think crazy.

Thanks guys.  Man that rear section weighs a bunch. Guess my plan to build short and full body not so bad. Short will be one sheet for sides can sue same cowl and engine side panels. That give me showman deal(full) and haul butt shorty. Not sure how much wieght yet but go to be lot differance.

Saturday we got our car teched and then went to Bakersfield for testing.
Ran an 8.2 @166 first pass on the new engine.
I updated my thread "New member 200" Supercat FED" with more info and video links.
We have a bunch of tuning to do yet but it was great sitting in the car again.
