Today I spent time gathering junk tires as tomorrow is our town's local clean up day. I can get rid of tires for free. I have 32 I gathered up that need to go. Probably the bad side effect of having this hobby. Junk can gather quickly.
I didn't get much time to mess with the 40. But, I started mocking up the lower tubes for the X member, and my vision of the lower bars being directly below the upper bars is not going to work. It would work if I didn't want to be able to remove the trans but I do. The trans gets wider at the middle and I didn't take that into consideration in my head. So I'm going to have to move the bottom bars in about an inch or so that way the trans willl be able to be removed without having to pull the engine and trans like before. I guess that is a part of the process of stuff not fitting.
