Default Progress

The cage, rear, subframes are all going into the car by the end of july. Trying to work out a day that I can drop the car off and get it all welded in at once and have the rear bolted in (if i dont do it myself to save the hassle). Interior is all stripped out minus the door panels, all the suspension pieces are done and on the car (Front/Rear control arms, TQ arm, lcas, phr, etc). Minor electrical and misc work to do (wiring, battery, cutoff, parachute mount, fuel system) and work begins on the motor.

ETA 6 months at a dragstrip near YOU.

The parachute is there to catch the parts that fly out!

150 = chute.
Glad to hear it's coming along well. Sounds like she'll be a hoot!
