Got the interior stripped and gutted over the weekend. Self explanatory pics. I got most of the interior if anybody needs a piece.

Stickers are good but we are thinking about doing some crazy theme. Haven't decided what yet. We straightened the frame last weekend. I need to get the pics up.

Camo-style paint job, but with all NEON colors.

Paint it black amd white striped like a bar code, so when "scanned" by a phone, it reads as a valid bar code.



Those are my ideas...

So I have been crazy busy and not able to update this as needed. But here you go.



Hood Pins installed since our OEM latch got sheared in a wreck prior to me getting it.

Car getting the frame straightened.

Borrowing a tow vehicle and renting a dolly to get it to the chassis shop for the cage.

Our Seat.

Saturday we will be picking up the car. Seat is installed. Roll cage installed. Lexan windshield installed. 2 electric master kill switches. I will try to take some pics at the chassis shop of some of the cars there. The little civic doesn't fit in.



I bought a tow vehicle. It is crazy awesome. I will try to get some pics of it too.



We have decided our theme is a Christmas Present. We are going to wrap the roll cage in tensile and the entire car in wrapping paper. Ugly colors of course. Maybe a bow on the roof and a giant candy cane out the back.



Here is an aerial view of the track we are going to enter to race on.

So we got the car back this weekend. Long way to go but we are getting there. My cell went crazy and wouldn't let me take pictures. But here are a couple my buddies took.



Here is a shot of the cage in the car. No windshield at the moment. Passenger seat is coming out. It was the drivers seat. It is a solid 8 point cage. I will get more pics of it this weekend or when the wind dies down a bit.

Here is us picking it up from the shop. Trailer we borrowed and it was total junk. Blew a tire on us too. Tow vehicle is my purchase of a week now. Is a 2005 Ram Quad Cab SRT-10.

I don't think I will be doing a beta swap. Just hoping the little D16 can handle 24 hours of fun.
