Looks like you have a good start there. It appears that most of the pieces are there from this angle. As long as the motor turns over you should be good.

Looking VERY nice! I like the way you've got the rear seat pod to mirror the lines of the rear of the tank. You and Fig ought to hook up and swap notes.
