Dave,
I will certainly drop you a line if I run into any more mystery's ........and there were plenty of them. There's nothing like building a car with no instructions.

You've tied it all together for me,Thanks.
Marty.

Marty,

Glad to help. I have learned tons about the R-Models through the years and would be happy to talk shop and give any pointers that might help.

Anytime!

I have a few in "Juggernaut's" gallery. I did not set out to make an exact clone, just something streetable. The interior should be completed this week. Then I'll ask Randy to update the gallery.

Dave.....While on the subject.
How is the rear fiberglass shelf fixed to the interior, and does the shoulder harness attach to the rollbar or loop over the rollbar and mount to the floor?
Thanks,
Marty.

Brent,

After thinking it over, now that my car is about done.
The one thing I wouldn't install again are the Over-Rider traction bars. Not worth the trouble with all the fitting,cutting and welding that's involved. Go with the under-riders.

Marty.

Hey Marty,

I used a street car shelf. Attached with most of the stock trimm hardware and held in firmly with the spare. I does take some trimming and fitting. the shoulder belts were attached to the roll bar cross bar.
