Great stuff Al! Your buys are doing good. Subframe is impressive.





Make sure you get the boys to wear a dust mask, CPOD is a bitch! I have early signs of Asthma due to metal grinding and spraying primer without a mask.

Easy-Off oven cleaner takes anodizing right off. I believe it's the yellow can that you have to use though.


Even faster is CRYSTAL DRANO sold in a small can -- Home Depot etc --- put some in a plastic bucket --- add some water... put parts on some kind of wire and dip 'em... I use a clear plastic bucket so I can watch them boil -- because when you get the mix right --- it's friggin' boiling! And the anodize comes off in seconds... Rinse 'em off... and you're ready to polish or paint or whatever you're doing.

It looks amazing Al. The boys definitely have a ton of talent. I always look forward to seeing your updates.

They are doing a great job with the car. The engine bay looks outstanding.

One questions though, why did they take the roof off?

The Attention to detail is top notch! Great work , we are partial to how killer your engine combo came out, your OCD nature is inline with ours lol :hail: . Great build :thumbsup:

I don't know how I missed this thread but I just went through the whole thing and words cannot describe how awesome this build is. Every piece, the attention to detail is as the millennial generation says, "its off the chain".

Im glad you will be at SEMA this year as I will get to see it first hand and shake your boys hands. They have done an outstanding job Al. I know you are a super proud father.

Hey Vince, thanks for the reminder.The crazy parts is they have a box of really nice mask but I still have to keep on them to use them.

Replacing with a carbon panel. The factory roof came in at approximately 22 lbs. Hoping to shed 15 of them.

Got to give props to all the guys at Derale as they are helping the boys take it to the next level!

and that is the cool part of BB Build Threads we get to see it and when we are at shows and people walk up to the car people like us point out all of the crazy details that most would never see.

ps. I feel like I am watching a Rad Rides car being built.
