Seat and harness in

Front end, still needs a few finishing touches

holes to let radiator heat out

Had to get the visor from my old 2wd back on there for sentamental purposes

I forgot to put hardner in the black paint so I'm now held up waiting for paint to dry, I cant really do any body work and sanding until its dry so I dont end up with a crap ton of dirt in it.

I sitll need to put the hood pins in but they wont be here until tommorrow. But its basically done. I could race it tommorrow if I wanted to. I'd still like to repalce the shocks, add a quick disconnect steering wheel, some sort of exhuast, and swap to manual hubs. I'm hoping once its all painted I can get a few local buisnesses to sponsor me and provide the above 4 things.

Paint is on, I changed it up and went with Kubota orange this time I still need to install the hood pins and the rool cage padding, they should be here fedex today.

I'm not entirely happy with the front end around the grille but there wasnt much else I could do??

For the record, I HATE this paint. Its valspar from TSC, the other tsc paint I ahd was a differant brand and it was easy to paint, this stuff even thinned down was chunky and I had to spray a real small pattern, and it doesnt cover very well either so it takes alot of paint.

looks awsome to me. i kinda like around the grill... butu i also dinno how you would fix that

 

[CountryBoy78]

Looks good to me.......so are you going to put a big 01 on that orange beast

 

[donaldcon]

No, it is not getting an 01 or a Rebel flag on top. Oru teams racing colors are orange and black, weve always ran primarily black with orange accents, I wanted to swap it this year, not to mention I've had two other all orange vehicles in the past

Ended up with a 13th place finish. I could have quickened my time but I still need to figure out its capabilities so I can drive it right.

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

You were out there racing...what an adrenalin rush! And practice will help in your placement.

Only so much a stock 2.3 will do against 20,00 dollar basically baja v8 fiberglass bodies, but 13th shows I have a chance. Some tracks are big and wide open and I have no chancein hell, others like this are fairly tight and that closes the hp gap and changes it to driver skill.
