Excuse the dirty car, it's in the race shop for a roll cage, but thought you might like to see the new hood pins. the OEM hood release has been removed.

 

If you keep going, you are going to have yourself a REAL RACECAR there. Looks good and fast!!

 

I'm waiting for the built in air jacks to appear.

 

Nice job Derek! Now if we could get only get you to do a Crossfire commercial ...

 

LOL... You know I would if the system didn't weigh so much...


Had to install the pins because I removed the AC condenser that was in front of the radiator and had to remove the remote hood latching mechanism to clear tech inspection. There's all kinds of little things I have to do to make spec. I need to install a electrical cut-out switch on the outside and inside of the car, interior & exterior fire extinguisher actuator and the fuel safety cell with safety filler.

Like I said, it's going to take a few months to get this thing completed and get my annual tech inspection before I can start racing nationally... At least I got the license and the roll cage being installed on Tuesday

Good thing I'm off work now till the end of July...

 

I don't do freebies... LOL If DC wants to hire me to do one of their commercials I'll get my crew together... They're all just hanging around getting into trouble till we go back to work in July !!!

 

now you've done it... holes in a great looking hood.

you mine as well stick a knife in my back... it hurts to see it.

all i can think of... is a late 70's trans am with pins.

but now... you are a full blow racer.

 

Sorry Andrew, it's required by the santioning body so I can make tech inspection... Trust me, I don't like them either, but that's the price you pay for taking the car pro... For that matter, gutting the interior broke my heart.

 

i understand... its all about function & safety.

not looks...

i'm just glad you're moving full steam ahead !!!

 

You could still spiff them up a bit. How's about getting them anodized black? That way the glare coming off of them won't blind you when you're passing that lotus on the inside.
