Yes, the doors and fenders were replaced with fiberglass, plus we had the original rockers replaced with lightweight steel. The firewall got a trim job as well, so those parts were painted too. Our goal is to get the car weight down to 3000lbs. We should be ready to fire it up for the first time tom...

It took me 90 minutes but the results were very rewarding, and as promised, the engine now resides where it should. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1600/682436/16386164/251710024.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1600/682436/16386164/251710029.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1600/682436/163...

We're going to see how the testing progresses, and if we see what you mentioned it'll be a go. Thanks.

We'll be running a much softer tune-up this season compared to last season.

The car came home from the paint shop tonight. I've got some work ahead of me putting everything back together. The date we are shooting for is less than 3 weeks away!! The doors and fenders are being painted and should be back in a couple of weeks. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1600/682436/10061...

Last season we were hitting it with way too much nitrous, and the results were costly. The tune-up last season was not for our car, and the testing went on all season. It w...
