I'll bet airflow through the radiator is optimized with that shell.

Looks like nice work...though if I'd built it, I can guarantee the instruments would be real :lol: . In all reality, if I had a tank like that work with, I'd much rather build one of these...

Saw one of these belly tank racers in a museum once...first time I'd ever heard of them. Crazy cool. I could see building one and powering it with a GL engine though...maybe even make it a three wheel and use the entire GL powertrain housed in the back half of the tank.
