Come to find out nothing matches, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I have to redo and/or buy everything again.

My steering parts were wrong and/or mismatched.
Same with the foot controls.
Front suspension is too wide.
Rear is too narrow.
Headers don't align with the cut in the body.

So my advice is; before changing or moving anything also consider the headers, if you already have them. Otherwise you most likely will need to have them fabricated.

Don't make the mistake I made, think and rethink before you change or buy anything.

Now that I read my post, it sounds more Like venting.

Just be careful, otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of $$$, like me.

Whoa! Hang on! I am sure that since these are the first generation of replica that there were issues that would surface. I dont have headers, thankfully I would guess since they probably would not fit anyway. I am not defending the makers of this vehicle in any way but the way I think about it is..its in MY garage. LOTS of people would dig one in theirs. Its gonna be a labor of love for sure. I hope to get LOTS of help and advice for the good folks here. Looks like you and I will trade pics and heartache as we put ours together. Vent way, but what the hell, WE have one of these KILLER cars in OUR garage!! hehehehe. I am a tinkerer, so I dont wanna reinvent the wheel if there is someone here that has gone down the path you and I will surely travel. Here we go man, lets have fun!
