Re: New project a comin' Part Deux
More work on the RaceX. Having a heated garage is awesome!
The racing logo:
The engine rebuild is slightly "stalled". awaiting new hardware, but I have a little bit of time for that.

It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together, but it takes only one of them to scatter it all over the highway. - Evan Esar

Nice, a race car in the summer and a snow plow in the winter... Very utilitarian Mike.

Re: New project a comin' Part Deux
Thanks Steve, it was great to meet up with the gang again!
Oh, and nope, can't snowplow with it, it wouldn't last a winter...

Re: New project a comin' Part Deux
Just a little tidbit. I've been plugging away at the more complicated things. Like camber plates and the fuel cell. The fuel cell is completely installed and fuel lins run up front. All camber plates are mocked up.
Next on the list is to install Koni race suspension from the BumbleBee and mount the suspension.Once its on all fours, I can start to finish the engine...
Project completion is slated for May 1st.

Re: New project a comin' Part Deux
More updates. Here is the raceX waiting at the shop for a full cage:
Said full cage being fabricated and installed:
Should come home this week. Next is engine and trans install. With a cage like this, it'll be real hard to resist hill climbs...
