Will be looking into picking up some collectors, thanks guys. I am thinking that rather than cutting the trunk lid and tucking it I might just plasma cutt away all the underneath strenghting sheetmetal up to the halfway point then run some all thread thru the lid down thru the floor pan. So bacically this leaves just a sheetmetal skin from the half way point back. I will also cut out the lip that the trunk lid closes against up to the halfway point. Thoughts? ?? Here is a pic of where I am thinking of cutting

Got some little things done this weekend. Got the second cooler box rhino lined and primered. Still hoping to get some input on the trunk lid question above. Thanks for looking. Mike.

Well it looks like we will have to find another place to run this year, our fair has implemented a "Engine Claim" rule this year that means for the amount $250.00 dollars any driver can claim my engine for 10 minutes after the races is completed. Fudge That!!!! Anyway we are still moving forward and I hope our fair changes their minds. a few pics of some small progress. Getting rims ready for paint and tires. We realized we were short cutting on the steering so we are going to fabricate our own. 3/4" rod and hiems. please forgive my spelling I have had way too much to drink after reading the rules.

Put some bling on my battery box. All dressed up and nowhere to go, maybe I should find a different place to run any suggestions?

Recieved our double U joints today, we went with the ones from speedway. My first impression on them is they are well built they feel very solid and it is made in the good ole USA. Pics are just a rough idea how things line up, still need to align the steering shaft better. We should have the steering completed this weekend as long as we get the rest of our parts.

Been following this, through both sites. Great build and even better pics. The engine claim rule must suck, cause they are nice. Best of luck finding a place to run these.
