During the last update we had our paint booth up and we’re painting the chassis and body panels! UPDATE - the chassis has been painted grabber blue, and the body panels are a mix of blue panels for the interior and silver for the exterior panels. After a few days to let them dry, we moved the chassis into its spot, disassembled the paint booth and now have parts every where. But it’s all for a good reason! One by one parts are starting to go onto the car. We have the brake and clutch pedals in now so the brake lines car be run. The front end is being assembled and pieced together. The rear end is off in the shop getting new tubes, and gone through. Once that is back, it will be in and put together. The seat is also placed in now. Piece by piece the cockpit is being completed so we can focus on the engine and rear end when everything comes back.
Now as this week goes by I know dad will be working each night to continue progress on it. For me, I am off to Maine for the week. To start my week off and let everyone into my personal life for a moment - I proposed to my longtime girlfriend Sam and she said yes! So we are up in Maine for the week before I get back home and set all my eyes onto race season. This week will give me time to go through our marketing packages, and do research for potential marketing partners! It’s going to be an exciting year Over the next few weeks we will be starting to wire the car, finish up the suspension, and lay in the power plant. Keep checking back for photos, and insight on the build project! All eyes on to the first race Comments are closed.
