Had the Delaware orientation and registration meeting last night… Did a whole bunch of work the weekend before. The seat mount is now sturdier, more correct, and lower and further forward too. Just need to clean up the interior and give it a fresh coat of paint, then mount the seat for good.
Engine’s come together nicely, just waiting for a set of intake bolts and then we’ll put the intake and distributor in. After that, it’s just a matter of figuring out the power steering hoses and the engine is ready to fire.
Only a few major pieces of the puzzle left: button up the transmission and drop it in, hang exhaust on the car, and finish the rear end. Then it’s off to another shop for an alignment and scaling, and she’s ready for the races!
NOM NOM NOM… Vortec heads and Center-Dump Manifolds. All of a sudden the engine won’t be a joke.
Also a fun pic of the Carquest Machine Shop. Well, a small section of the machine shop.
Well here we are entering September and, obviously, we haven’t made it to the racetrack. Long story short, funding issues have prevented it. The car sits about 80% done, just needs a few motor bits, the transmission put in and our new tires put on, but it’s too late now. Adrenaline, our major sponsor, and all our other sponors, understand the situation. They’re disappointed, but they know we’ll be focused more than ever on getting out on the track for a run at Rookie of the Year in 2010. We’d like to thank them for all their continued support–and now the guys have the whole winter to get the car JUST right, so stay tuned for more updates!
Rolled it out of the shop–still plenty of work to do but figured it’d be nice to have it on four wheels at least. Still need to radius the wheelwells correctly.
Finished the fuel cell install, other than the vent… Also got the seat and harness finished, as well as a nice mesh grille for the front end. Some pics of the completed front suspension as well.
… And then we found a typo on the one on the hood… Sorry guys! lol … We’ll get that fixed ASAP.
Thanks to Edgy Graphics for all their great work!
Light colour first, as always!
Also getting to work on the engine now, better late than never. Fuel cell will be installed soon, and front suspension together this week. Thanks again to all our sponsors!

All sorts of body work complete… Got the rear fascia piece on as well, and started body filler work. Should be able to prime and paint within a week or so!
