Weekend accomplishments

This past weekend I was able to make it home and put a few parts on the race car.  Thanks to my dad the engine was almost in when I got there and we made some adjustments to the rear end to get the travel we needed.  Some of the wiring is in and we have some more tin bent for the deck lid.  We broke up the tin twice as much as it was last year so it will have more support.  Spring break is on the way March 3rd-12^th and I am looking forward to having a complete car by the 12^th of March.  I also thank Lance Beebe for allowing me to use a brake and a nibbler for the tin work.







Mastermind at work!
