Red Pepper Racing

Update?

they will clear the rim, but you could have trouble depending on the spokes. as long as they don't have a steep angle it will be fine.

We close on the house tommorrow at 4pm and the madness will begin shortly after.

(and thanks for the brake info guys!)

enjoy,

Jacques

Ok, we finally got our internet back (with a new provider....) so i can FINALLY post some updates, so far ive just been tearing the car apart, the only alarming rust i found is above the panhard mount:

Ride height has been a little increased to to lack of weight . The rust isnt quite as bad as it looks in the pictures.

Most of the stuff i took out will not go back in. and i HATE sound deadening material .

enjoy,

Jacques

you did some good stripping there man...

dont get too bummed out about the rust, i had alot mroe then that and i fixed about 90% of it... welders really help, but not when you ahev the wrong wire.. heh..

this thing is gonna be sweeet

Nice wasp nest in the front fender there...

yeah I got a pretty sweet one goin on right now too.

i think its sexy... 2 superbuilds going.. arens is down for a whiel so JDN is gonna have to take over

i hate the wasp nests. tring to strip my parts car and build the race car i have killed 10 wasps and about 12+ nests. there still are some on the car but i cant figure out how to get them out. 2, one in each exterior mirror, and then in the rocker on the drivers side.
the parts car they love the engine bay.

ok, aside from guitar string, what is the best way to remove the front windshield? The rear quarter windows? Im REAL close to just using a hamme on the already trashed front....

thanks and enjoy,

Jacques

Radiator's gone...:


And i scored a Craftsman orbital sander for $18 (i think it was cashier error....):

sweeet

i was going to town with a screwdriver and a hammer trying to get the sound deadening material up when i found this :



and used a screwdriver to punch out a little more of the Driver's side:


The good news is that seems to be it, i dont expect any more suprises like this.

I firmly believe that it's still perfectly fixable, but it is a little disheartening...

enjoy,

Jacques

my car was just about as bad as yours (if not a little worse, there were 2 1' long holes in the low spot behind each seat). but even with my little sheet metal work it came out as nice as i would hope without welding. mine ran as far back as the trunk release mechanism.

keep your hopes up. youve gotten off to a great start.
