You can probably remove about half of the leaves in that spring, too. I would estimate that this car will weigh about half (or less) of what the car that it came from weighs. Also, you have the engine, etc. sitting behind the axle instead of on top of it which lessens the load on the spring.

Really looking forward to seeing this one on wheels...
The straps are pretty snug as is, but I will probably do a rubber strip during final assembly.

Yeah, I'd be real surprised if the spring pack works as is. I figured it would require some adjustment. It sure would be nice if it worked as is though. I think it is "pretty".
