Its not an easy shell to paint? + 2-3 gals in it will start looking beaten?

What is too hot? I’m gonna bring a body reamer with me on my shakedown run and bore that baby out until it’s cool enough

Looks good, better then my paint jobs ?
Never temp'd it but you will know. Keep looking at the primer bulb. She'll go empty when too hot, then the idle will start to climb from being too lean

The primer bulb will go empty before the engine gets damaged from being too hot?
Not saying that. Just telling you what to look for. I've had my primer bulb empty multiple times on my 5iveB while I was trying to find the best cooling for it. I don't think it hurt anything. Just listen for the higher idle. She'll talk to you.

Tbh I'd just cut the windshield out completely to start. Not crazy about all the holes guys end up putting in the body. You would think there has to be a decent alternative
Love the paint job every time I see a nice b makes me want one.

Holy smokes this rig is fun! Need to do some tuning to get turning under brakes and acceleration a bit more predictable but she’s ran great all day and took home some W’s. Video of all the races with my new head mount coming soon!
Looking forward to that????
