Coming along

, be interesting to see how it sits when the motor is in (seems kind of raked at the moment which could make the handling interesting !

Too little or too much does it look like? But that's what trial runs are for I suppose..

Absolutely right that is the point of mock up, when the motor is in it will give a better idea of how it's final resting place will be but it looks a little "public schoolboy" (ass up nose down) which may make the steering nervous at speed (nobody likes a tank slapper !!)
