New guy looking for assistance

In the primary car there is a hole from the centering point of the bit through the bottom and you can see light through the wood in the disc hole. The disc sits flush with the top of the car.

I think what W was trying to get at is don't be afraid to drill completely through the body. This way you can get the center of your weight on the centerline of your axles or lower. Weighting too high can make your car unstable in the rear. You don't need 3/8 clearance here at pddr to race. Just as long as it doesn't drag the track. I used to put my weight too high. Big mistake.

That is perfect. I was just making sure the disc would not be sitting too high as ACME mentions...

Make sure you gap your wheels consistently. 1/32 is what most people use...

Cars look really nice...

I'm a little concarned that my COG is to far forward. It seems to be just about 1 1/4" from the rear of the car. Will this be an issue?

Also here is the completed "hauler" cab...

From the rear of the car or from the rear axle?

We always measure from the rear axle...

Ahhhh! I was measuring from the rear of the car. That does make a difference.

Thanks
