Hey Steve,
would I have seen your car a couple years ago at Fontana running with Touring Car Club? 2001 or 2002 maybe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Brant,

Beautiful car and superb attention to detail. What club(s) and what tracks will you be running?

Steve

Steve,

thank you sir...
Plan on mostly doing RMVR and PCA club racing...
but the car was built for RMVR rules...
mostly colorado tracks.. we have 5 decent ones.

Possibly will travel to affiliates for some VARA stuff, although the car won't be competetive out in your neck of the woods...

also hope to get to Laguna and Road Atlanta in the next couple of years at least once...

Here are a few detail photo's that show where I deviated from the "Weight is everything" approach, and added some weight back into the chassis in the interest of aesthetics.

Here is a shot of the front park lamp signals I filled in:

I mentioned my fender linings before.
I used contact cement to glue in a piece of neopreme on the inside of each fender. I've done this before on my old race car and it preserved my paint for 3-4 years from the rock stars that you get from track tires...

The neopreme seems to offer good compression, and more density as it compresses.... what ever.. but seems to work very well.

This picture is confusing, but I took it lying on the ground and pointing up at the ceiling. (left rear fender):

I also previously mentioned that my dad had built an engine dolly. Well I took a photo this weekend. Dolly was built to be as low as possible but still allow our jack to slide underneath.

Its got 6 wheels and the forward 4 are rigid, but the back 2 are on casters so they can spin in any direction. There is also enough of a bend in frame to keep the 2 rear wheels off the ground.

The point to all of this; it doesn't swing right and left when sliding it in from the rear... then after jacking up the forward part and attatching the forward engine mount there is a weight transfer (duh) onto the rear casters and the rear can swing right/left in order to facilitate final alignment...

don't know if that makes any sense.. Either way the dolly works great. It will suppor the engine/tranny combo, or just the engine alone. I've had the engine in a few times now during the dry fitting process and it works great:

I reassembled the carbs onto the motor this weekend.
Carbs are IDS carbs, with the head blocks, perc mod, and baffles. The manifolds look to be powder coated and the carbs rebuilt

here is a shot:
