    Also don't weld the holes, a piece of license plate and some pop rivets go a long way!!

    BTW the judges love Scotch
    I will have to remember the scotch for the September event. Where the Sanford & Son truck will be making its debut.

      Made some progress today...

      ... before it started raining. :roll:

      Thinking I should have left the holes in the front passenger footwell, to see if we're hitting hand-hand apexes correctly.

      Some before shots:

        Afterburn-in





        Didn't grab any before pictures of the last one, bridged the patch panel with a section of the sunroof cartridge for strength.

                Found another car...

                ... just in case we break or get crushed during the race.

                Gotta' love driving through Lowell.

                      I think half my paycheck is going to LPI racing for cool suit stuff; had to buy some connectors as the cooler didn't come with any way to get cool water from the cooler to the shirt :(

                      Rust? What rust?


                      Making it purty


                      Think this will get some clean air?


                      It's starting to look like a race car!
