Varoom!

Painted, axles in, wheels on and... best of all... motors cranked! It was a power weekend for sure. Jojo's rig got a full paint job. His roll cage and frame are black. The remaining body panels are Chrysler red up to the front fenders, grill and part of the hood. There's still some hood painting left to make it blend together better. More importantly, the rear axle was installed only lacking rear brake lines. Fuel cell plumbing and wiring were completed. Joe went with an external fuel pump and regulator. We hooked up the battery and repositioned the power module on the front firewall. A little regulator adjusting and it fired right up. Jojo's photos.

Clint's rig got all wired up to run as well. Rigid brake-lines were extended for the rear. We fabbed some tail-light mounts out of aluminum and installed via tabs on the cage. The old aluminum rock top was trimmed down and cleaned up. Final adjustments to the steering were finished. Another measurement indicates the wheel base is now at just over 106". Sunday evening, Clint bolted in his new seats and drove his rig home. This week it gets a new exhaust. Mechanically it's about done. We need to ramp both rigs to make sure all is in order. We have one more weekend to make final mods. Clint's photos.
