Max effort cam only Upgrades&Appearance
Well here's my max effort at going after the cam only record that has been standing for sometime now. My goal is to have a 2700lb raceweight. The car will be recieving percy's lexan both front/rear and the Burkhart manual brake kit. Free weight reduction will include: I cut the extra metal on the cowl area flush to the windshield,the brackets where the hood shocks attatch got chopped off,and the door bars were removed. As far as the make over, the car is in the process of getting painted. The condition of the paint wasn't so good and the dent got pretty annoying. Sorry you can't refer to it as the "wax car" anymore :moon: I'm doing all of the prep work myself and a friend of mine at the body shop will be priming and painting everything in a booth(all ppg materials). So yeah this bitch will have a new look and weigh a bit less. Anyway here are some pictures of the progess, enjoy:chug:. Sorry the shop seems a bit cluttered.

Then I will put the car back together so we can spray the whole exterrior in one day. Heres a few progress pics: http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...amonly1006.jpg http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...amonly1009.jpg http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...amonly1007.jpg http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...amonly1008.jpg http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...amonly1010.jpg |

Thank you for the positive comments guys. My buddy who is painting it is swamped with work at the body shop so we probably won't paint it untill saturday or sunday.

Are there any rules of what you can do to the car?
Aside from the cam, what other engine components can you change? What is the current record for this class? |
