Okay. I didn't know if I could have done mine different and ended up with a lower stance.

Where are the mounting points on the pedal car body? On mine there were 6 total - 2 on the seat, 2 around the front license plate area, and then 2 high mounts for the top of the pedal gear. I only used the first two mounting points (the seat and then front license plate area).

Is this an original body or a reproduction? I like the lines and the Buick style vents on the side.

Also, did you have to modify the seat at all for the rear wheels to sit so low? On mine the wheel would have rubbed on the seat portin of the body so I only have like a 1/16-1/8" space between the seat and the back of the wheel.

Can't wait to see this thing done.
