18 feet, give or take, front to back, covering the parking slot just under 8' wide. I still have a couple issues to sort out (warpy boards) and re-smoothing the gravel underlayment) but the preliminary set up looks REALLY promising! Compared to what I had before, it's paradise...

Three years ago, I did not know the difference between a muffler and carburetor. I had to keep reminding myself that clockwise was tighten and counter-clockwise loosen.
It took me a long time to start this project due to an irrational fear of failure. I’m posting this because if I can do it anyone can!
Thank you Hank, Joe, and Doug for all of your helpful advice with this project.
Tony, a not uncommon occurrence when fitting a Scat crank is interference with the centre rear bolt on the inspection pan horse shoe, or the horseshoe itself at that point.
