Here's the update.
The temp out this morning is 68* and only going to be 85* for a high today. it's the first day in 2 months that it has not been 100+*'s. It's not going to be over 95 for the rest off the week. What a releaf! The weather set records and tied some this yr.....
It's been to hot to get out and do anything. I did get one side done and working on the other this weekend. Here's some pics of what is done.
I will say that sheet metal work sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! But cutting out all the rust is good.........

So did you get it all finished this weekend? For not liking sheet metal work you did a pretty slick job! Good work, when are you getting back to the track??

Na, I got started on the other side but it's a lot of work when replacing all the sheet metal I'm replacing. I should have it done by next weekend. We will have it out in 2 weeks.

Thats cool, how much longer is the race season down there? We have about two months left, maybe 2.5 if Kansas does what it does.
