It’s super wild to think about how it looked after Crandon to now… just about like it never happened!!! Nothing like racing… NOTHING. That adrenaline on the start line… and during when you’re battling… I’m trying to think of something to compare it to but I can’t! 😁 can’t wait to be back in the car at KOH!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Never make somebody a priority who makes you an option.

Interesting to see her using sandpaper to texture the tire.

I probably should order the groover today!!  GV1000!   I probably should watch some YouTube videos 😊.

Ok.  Tank mounts, battery mount, seat mounts moved, got rid of every extra tab in the car, about to weld new oil cooler mounts in now!!!  Pretty much changed everything on the inside of the car!!  And the roof!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Weight lower, and lower weight 👍🏻  Less stuff, more simple.  Fire wall left for inside stuff.

yup just gonna paint it all again darn it!!!!   But no filler this time around😁😁😁😁😁. Not adding any anyway 😎

Killer progress.  You’re gonna have this done quick and waiting in the corner for race time

That roof though! There aren’t many people out there who could take something after a roll over and make it look this good again. Nice work, JJ!

Thanks guys..,  it’s coming along great!  Found a bad shock, broken axle and tube, etc while taking it apart…

probably hard to believe but I am sick of working on this again😔😔😔😔😔

new oil cooler mount, new trans mounts.. everything in the rear of this car has been redone again!!!!!

And now…. KOH is talking 20 mile loop desert race!!!  I just took my big tank out!!!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

how many miles can I get out of 4 gallons with a solex carb??? I bet and assume I can get at least 2o miles out of it???!!!  Is a smaller tank a refuel a good strategy??   They are talking land rush start in a dry lake bed…

Clean up this morning.  I had to make and weld everything of course 😎😎😎😎😎😳😎😎.  Full trans mock-up I put a tube all the way through the trans to the other side..,  spring plate to plate.  AMAZING everything looks pretty good👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻   The left side stop was beat down and allowing too much droop on my inside tire at CRANDON 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

About to limit my shit a tad.  And I’m gonna run straps next to my shocks I hope 🤞

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎
