Alot of wetsanding and buffing.
Drives are ready for pickup.
Motors maybe droping in next week.


All in all I think I may need the sawzall or chainsaw for the
new height of the PSIs.

They are 3.5 inches taller.
I dropped the motors down one more bolt hole on the
mounts. (2 inches)
Gives me a height of 1.5 inch overlast year.

The motors are now actually 3.5 inches below
drive centerline.

This should lower the center of gravity

The three things that concern me are.

1)Exhaust
2)Blower pulley is gonna want to hit the hatch
3)Rear carbs may hit the under part of the Scoops.
