I thought these photos documenting the preparation of my vintage racer would be of interest. We started with a run-of-the-mill 72 car (purchased on eBay), stripped it to the metal, straightened it, welded in a cage, powder-coated everything, added a new pedal-box assembly, AIM display and the best components we could find. FAT performance built a powerful 4 cylinder engine and we are off to the races!

The first engine was built by SCAT and was a disaster(see photos). FAT is just finishing up the replacement type 4 engine.
