Lamar, your set-up looks real good. The Syssa has run very good for me so far. I still need to put some time on it to get it run in. I still have less than 1/2 gallon through it!

Build well!

Autotecart, you have probably figured it out by now that you will have to run your wiring from the electric retracts around the wheel well and through the wing ribs. You just have to decide how to go...
