Hello Everyone, I spent most of the winter in AZ and in San Diego. I should have stayed west longer! I'm back in the Adirondack Mountains of NY. It's still cold and spitting snow.

I've spent a few hours a day for the past couple of weeks working in my very isolated shop. Yesterday I completed switching out my unfinished white body with one in Red Gel Coat. I went for a drive yesterday afternoon. I can't wait for warm weather. The car drives great. I'm looking forward to some great drives.

I still need to do a good cleaning.

Now is a great time to work on projects. Be safe. John

I love it. I have been a long time fan of the Cheetah since my teenage slot car years.

https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mg-engine-s ... r.4185036/

Good luck.

Thank you everyone for the positive comments. And, Thank you Chuck for the heads up on the MG forum. I'll check that out.

I've been driving my car quite a bit. Almost 1400 miles this year. I love how my car handles. The balance is really good. It feels like the car rotates right at my butt. The mild, estimated 270hp at the crank is enough power to be fun and plenty fast. (For the roads here. :))

I'm working part time on building another frame in my jig. And, I'm picking up another Red body in a few weeks.
