Nice work... Short wheelbase and big tires, how does it handle?
 What is "Flaming River Steering"?

Tires are only 33's,  handles like a dream.
Flaming river makes the steering. Column, And steering joints.

Any chance we can see a video to hear it run?  I've never liked the sound of v6's with exhaust but it may be better in a Willys  ;D
