Thanks for the info and picture Franz. I didn’t think about using the bearing set up or shaft like that. Good idea on a quick release wheel. Might make it easier for my fat ass to get in.

As always, KCW has the answers

Alright! I’m all caught up on my work. Time to get this baja going…not sure if we’re still planning on the San Felipe 250 in early April?…but I’m going to work towards that. I will have the car ready to race or play.

Going to work on this like a personal project…evenings and weekends.

I’ve been planning the new skid plates and winch attachment with a 1 1/4″ receiver front and rear.

Blaine is in the house today. New engine build going on. New case with a engle VZ14 cam….Should be better on the low end.

 

Rear skid is looking good. I would post pictures, but I don’t want anyone to see. 🙂

New case went together like legos. Excited to install the new transaxle and test ‘er out.

How’d it go with Blaine? Did he like how it all went together?

Franz what’s the reason for the round tabs welded to the VCs ?

Yes I know to keep the clip from coming upward but any other reason?

More tension?

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Zip ties so they can’t pop off. I had to ask Franz…K.I.S.S..😎

We will build it if it comes.

Ready to run. I feel good about the way it went together…going to break-in in the car.

90 amp alternator installed now to run all the lights and navigation. Need to order a couple small Baja design light to put in the bumper too.

Class rules say original fan shroud must be used. This is a stale-air 40hp shroud with oil cooler delete, and early fan for less power draw.

Awesome! Any thought into the exhaust?

Yeah dude, cut the stinger into a bunch of angles and welded back together.

Lol. The zip ties is the first thing I thought of. Makes sense.
