The altered body has always been my favorite, it looks better and its much lighter, but it has to come off to adjust the clutch. That isn't a problem, getting the damn thing back on is!
The Vette body, however, stays on and pivots skyward outa the way.

When we got this body it was set up for a small tire so we had to open up the wheel openings to fit the larger tire. (Its the ucky brown area.)
Since it needed paint work anyway we may as well make it easier to get to the clutch.

I split the cowl at the tape line, and it is removable without pulling the body. In less than a minute we are on the clutch!
There is a lot of bodywork to be done and no time to do it, so by 2/3rd majority (Ron and I) decided to tape off the flames and rattle can it flat black.

The opening in body doesn't look all that big, but we have plenty of room to get in there and thrash if needed.

Shaun is on the fence about the looks. I think this sumbitch is as cool as it gets!
Its a 15 footer, maybe 10, but it looks fantastic from the stands.
The flat black really brings the flames to life. It is also easy to touch up so the body work can be finished in small doses.
The reason I call this beast my hobby is simple, I've done just about everything on it BUT the tinwork!
