Work Session!

A lot of work was accomplished on Lacey this weekend:

• Front suspension largely assembled -- ask Jack about SUPERPRO if you want a good laugh...


• Belts installed (required 'modification' of driveshaft tunnel...)


• Steering rack re-installed


• Seat 'kinda' bolted in place (need different hardware, but it fits)


• Replaced engine and tranny mounts (with very good safety-related reasons...)


• Finally...we'll need a new thermostat. Boy, will we EVER need a new thermostat.

And look below at the wonderfully clean cooling passage...just imagine what the inside of the block looks like! LOTS of flushing in our future, for sure!

There's no going back now...

We are officially entered for the August 21-22 ChumpCar race at Roebling Road (near Savannah, GA). Come cheer us on!

CAGED!!!!!

Lacey's cage is finished!

Hot Wheels salutes RiffRAF!

Ok, not really. And this car looks a WHOLE lot better than Lacey ever will (although I'll take our safety equipment). But I thought it was cool...

More Cage Updates!

Again, mostly pictures from Jack...she's looking good...and safe!

Getting Cagey!

Just a bunch of cage pictures.... :-) Please look and comment!

Todd hard at work...THANKS, Todd!!!

Seat brace to go here

Door bars aren't in yet

fuel cell will be moved forward slightly. We had to go to a cell as the rear bars would go through the stock tank!

Amazing!

(post from Jack)

the driveshaft continues to be Lacey's most cooperative part.

I would have sworn this puppy wasn't coming apart without considerably more time, effort, and perhaps some damage. I credit Sili-Kroil and careful application of brute force with freeing the stuck splines.

Credit that can o stuff in the picture, from the sample pack Paul gave us, with dissolving the rust around the collar enough to unscrew it with relative ease.

No heat source or cutting tools were involved.

Cheers,
