    Nope, you are completely right, there's a lot of tubing gone into it and I'm intrigued to see how it turns out weight wise. Im building it for the track but also with a bit of design too, it iss a comprimise build if that makes sense? Im building it for me not for competition or anything.

    Funk. I love it, love that you've added the bear rolled on to the panel. The shape looks great with the lower one in the middle.
