Looks good!
Little Chief does nice work!

Word to the wiser, add a retention wire/sash chain to the fuel cell cap if it doesn't have one internally. I wised up after loosing two!

Looking good. Wheel tubs look great. I second the retention wire on the cap.

what's with the leash for your fuel cell caps? I ain't lost one yet in 14 years with 3 different cars. Pay attention to what you are doing and you won't loose a cap.

Ed, I agree. Never lost a fuel cap nor oil cap even though both are screw-on without tethers.

I prefer the screw on fuel cap, in my opinion, it is much easier to work with than the lever lock style.

Also, I buy the JAZ cells as blanks so I can put fittings and cap where they fit best.

just a point of curiosity, of those racers who employ a cam lock style fuel cap, who has a tether attached?

Both my front (RCI) and rear (JAZ) 3 gal fuel cells have cam type caps with metal chain tethers and ground straps.

These homemade tables were built years ago with scrap lumber. It's an example of do not judge a table by its cover. They have been the alignment platform for many builds.
Note;
tape clamped to ball joint
tape stretched to the rear
tape measuring wheelbase difference side to side and will be adjusted as needed to be square.
four link specs are right on the money

A few notes. The Lamplighter project is well on track [so to speak] for some spring race dates. Only some small knacks nacks and we will be race-ready.

Canted, I am pondering if the China measure is a good thing or a bad thing. I suppose it depends on what is being measured.
