Drill a few hoes in the floor to let the rain out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You planning on sticking sandbags in the front to get some weight over the turning wheels??

It's still ULF on the inside. I figured that would be gone by now.

JP - who's doing your roll cage mods?

Wow! big changes from last summer!! Car looks great!

Can I PM you to bother you and come to your house to bother you some more ???? I can bring beer!!!

I haven't touched THOMAS' beast yet other than to mount some wheels and wipe it down from the truck ride up, and remove some of the decals. Started it a couple of times - but I need to remove the seat (my a$$ don't fit) and possibly change/modify the rear cross bar in order to get some leg room for me before I can drive it.

I would love to pick your brain sometime - the car is stored at the "camp".

It does take some balls to get out the sawzall and wack it off. But you have a REAL racecar now.

One tip: keep your mouth closed when driving. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That was me you were bidding against. I just went for the Buy It Now option to ensure we go it. I am surprised nobody here recognized my Ebay user ID...69Turbo912.

Now that the cat is outta the bag, I got some more good pictures of the progress. Several of this things being done are for weight, others are for comfort...i.e. moving the knee bar above the steering column so that it is no longer a knee bar!

On of the big things we need is a lighter muffler set-up. The Triad is almost 30lbs and is hanging off the rear in the worst place possible...any suggestions?

You might want to look at mine? Very clean, very light. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Brit, JP.

I'll loan you a set of megaphones if you'd like.
Alternatively get a 2 in 2 out flowmaster 80 series muffler, or speak to Martin at exhaust specialties in Tigard.

Hey, JP,

Have you considered auctioning off the windshield and windshield frame on E-bay? Or are you gonna keep it in case you want to go back to stock later? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just wondering. Car's looking good. Carry on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
