Lots of new fabrication, updating the AMAC chassis to the last revision and adding some outside cockpit bars for protection. Will be putting some super high density foam slices between the cockpit channel and the new chrome moly tubes as well as on the outside of those tubes. Some added protection for hill climbs.
A bunch of work also done in the engine compartment and framing for the differential. Now have to start the reassembly process. First step is to refinish the aluminum panels that will be (steel riveted) on. In some cases the panels will be epoxied and riveted. The process I figured out for refinishing the aluminum works really well. Will post some pictures later. Attached image(s) |

Wow very pretty! Way too pretty for our rag tag hill climbs! Id be afraid to drive that at our Nor Cal Oregon events with dodgy roads. Hoopa is surface falling apart and made me glad I was in heavier Cayman this past year.

Not that I'm every planning to go off, but better safe than sorry.. |

Not that I'm every planning to go off, but better safe than sorry.. Almost all top fast drivers have gone off since I have been driving the series so good to build in protection. I'm thinking of giving up hillclimbs as management of Hoopa is changing this year and I wasn't happy with event last year . Maybe will do Ashland but doubtful. I may go back to TIme Trials on track. Much safer and controlled environment. |

Much safer and controlled environment. I agree with you on Hoopa although you have much more recent experience. After our UFO friends left, it did seemed to get a bit authoritative. Also the negativity from a few of the locals wasn't much fun, i.e., like the day they put poison oak on the toilet seat of the portable head! Also the road has deteriorated and given the high speeds on several parts of the course, not the best situation. On the other hand I hope to run Cascade this year if the car is ready. It's a good technical course and the people running the event are great. The road is OK except for the bump after 9 which does upset the car. It'd be fun to run one or two of the other Northern hill climbs. Not sure which ones to pick? |
