I'm really sorry to hear that about your wreck. I saw in the vid that you don't have a wheelie bar net. They work really well to prevent what happened to you. You can get one from Stroud Safety. I don't have any good pics of the net but you can see it in these two, along with many other things going on in the second photo lol

It does suck big time! If it is at all possible I want to still get to Shakedown but let's see how it goes...

Scene of the crime






Frame rail laying on the valvecover



Even the wishbone is jacked


Skinny Kid has it on the frame rack now and the repair is underway

I'm sure you hate to see your beautiful car back on the rack but I'm sure it will be good as new very soon. Don't let it get you down. Sooner or later we all go through some sort of expense setback with cars at this level and it just makes us want to pound our heads against the wall. But yours has good roots and it will live again. Good luck and we'll be looking foward to seeing on the track, soon.

Well I have not shared any updates so here are a few:

Skinny went to work!



BAM! We were loaded to go testing in 35deg weather



Then it was time for the cosmetic fix:

New Hood




New Doors




Stripped and ready for paint and powder coat


Next time you see the car it will look like this:



Thanks!
