Finally, something to do.....

I started the re-build of my brothers Pure Stock racer yesterday by cutting the body and trunk floor off the car. After four seasons of battle, it looked horrible. So, We decided it was time to pretty it up and take advantage of this opportunity to update and improve the cars constuction. Other than it no longer looking like a demolition derby car, it will be quite a bit lighter, due to the removal of a lot of unecessary body structure that wasn't safety related. The fuel cell and battery are being lowered and moved to the left side. Inner and outer "rub rails" are being added to protect the new body. A new, more aerodynamic nose will be installed to clean up the front and help with aero issues. As well, a radiator core support will be fabricated to house a bigger radiator in the hopes of curing, once and for all, cooling issues in the heat of summer racing. These shots are from the end of the day, before heading home. Oh, by the way, it's actually a 85 Chevy Caprice.

Do I really have to say what's next?......

And with that, I'm out.
