You guys recall the junker I pulled from a certain death

Well I have been very busy bending,fitting and welding a roll cage in the car as well as some crude body work to make it look somewhat presentable. There is a fair amount of rubbing at our track so there is so use making a show car out of it.
My little girl named the car Herbie when I brought it home .....the results............................................

great job man !
you should paint all the wheels white.

was the engine in the car in those pictures? the front seems very very high.....if the engine was not in the car at that moment...then you will need to cut from that front lip.

good luck with your racing !

Yeah..I am painting the wheels later this week and yes..your right I need to raise the front valance I can barely get around like it is. I still want to lower the spring height by an inch or so.

Then I need to do that awful job of ajusting the rear suspension

The car is just so high with all the weight off of it.
