went parts hunting in NASCAR country and came up with a deal on a 14 x 30 C&R radiator for $250!!

Also picked up some used ROCK Batteries form Roush Racing.. Drycell type.. One large and one small...Both for $50.....I'll try them out and see whats left in them.. They use them for 2 races and then call it a day.. They also had all kinds of used oil coolers and oil tanks cheap.. Most of the stuff is way too big for us..but there are a few diamonds out there...

Let see some pictures of the ROCK battery. Thats a hell of a good price those batteries are 300 to 400 new.

Can't wait to see that thing on the ground with some wheels on it.

Try thinning the paint more. Usually the paint is going on in too big of drops when it is op too much. Try more air pressure also, a long hose really lowers the pressure. Are you using a 3/8 id air hose and how long is the hose. Turn up the pressure at the outlet at the tank and adjust the regulator at the gun. If the paint is setting up too quick and not leveling out, because of higher temps, use a slower reducer or thinner. Course you've got to sand the op off for a smoother next coat. You will waste a lot of paint sanding most of it off. Mix up smaller amounts of paint and experiment with it till you get it right before you paint the whole thing.

ok its been awhile....Test drove Bob's car....its true its true!!! The suby tranny with a cable shifter is a sheer hoot....

Ok I have been doing small stuff and hunting down hardware after 4 years!! Can you explain how the tie down clamp for the front strut ended up in my bathroom!!!!

I but steering rack together and trial fit the front end. I also trial fit the rear swing arms so I could mount some tires!!

Slowly but surely tracking down all of the hardware.. Those flairs just ate up my eights!!

I will this weekend. I have to pull it, sand it amd paint.. I'm not sure this was the easiest approach. This was our first attempt, then put to the side for a while. We did Bobs 3.3 six then resumed and finished mine.. Bob's is a three piece unit versus my one...

I think if we did another it might be the small car bracket plus our fabed tranny mounts...It would save alot of time..
