    Well had some horrible luck first pass at the track about a month ago, went 11.72 @ 117mph first pass off the trailer and the car lost brakes and went off the end of the track and into the woods, frame is bent pretty good, lots of dam he to be repaired but the car is fixable and is in the works now.

    We’ll it’s been a few months since I’ve posted any updates on the car, but I took it for the first drive around the block the other day, I’ve been hustling everyday to get it to this point, still have a lot of work left to do but this is a huge step in the right direction.

    Found a deal locally on a set of down right racing fiberglass bumpers, got the rear one mocked up, still need tweaking, but for fiberglass parts it is a decent fit so far with minimal effort.

    Got some carpet for the car and started putting some of the interior in, trying to figure what I have and what's missing, also deciding what's actually going back in the car and what's staying out. Definitely need to pain all these tan pieces black.
