How cool is that!
Where did you source the rotisserie from?
I think you'll find the cage to be so well done & easy to install, that you'll be ready for the 2011 season!
We'll have some good fields at some of the Mid-Ohio events & Nationals next year if you do get ambitious, finish the build, and want to come play next year.
I got my 85.5 chassis down to 2304 w/o gas in it. No fancy dips, etc., just being fairly fussy with the little things. I did not remove the rubber undercoating, either. So 2,500 should be doable if your fussy, and keep the driver to a reasonable weight!
