Love your car.

I need to do some rule diving again... moving the wing back might help, but C3 Corvettes get nose light - so moving the point where it's pushing down further back might not be a good idea on the track.... wonder if they'd notice if I swapped struts between the track session and the autox....

[SuperBuickGuy]

well, look what's back?

dark bronze

fuel cap too

I like. a lot

truly better then I expected.... I thought I went too dark

with the wing in place

[SuperBuickGuy]

a bit done tonight
more fittings - most important is that stainless one

the problem is I welded a pipe fitting for the return when I needed an AN one... oops... will use it as a vent

and welded


in other news, I'm a really bad influence.... the red Corvette owner has bbc plans

I think you picked a good color with the rims

[Ricochet]

Looks great!!!

What color exactly are the wheels? I'm looking for a titanium/bronze color for my centers. Assuming they are satin cleared as well?

I'll have to call the powder coater... it was a special order dark bronze.

Spoiler is supported by the frame... I also put window glue in place to keep the warp and vibration transmission to a minimum

measuring done, time to make the tank support

keep in mind I was about 150 lbs light for where I'm racing.... I'll probably gain 30 or 40 lbs in this... all on the correct end


framework installed

not in love with the straps, however, I plan on supporting the defuser off them - so function trumps form

up the tank goes - the metal duct tape was put in place to keep the fiberglass from sagging when I filled the holes for the luggage rack

very close - I wanted to make it solid but I wouldn't be able to get the fuel pump out if I did

last test fit, next up with the fill neck, lines attached, electrical attached and rubber protection on the metal bands

Splitter material... best source?

[SuperBuickGuy]

a little further
wheels with tires on them

cut down the fill neck so I can use a flexible rubber hose for the offset

padding/rubber top and bottom

getting close... waiting on a fitting and the fill hose

[SuperBuickGuy]

it runs again...

interior is back in it

next up? front stuff

looks all buff in the back.... but more to do...thankfully, this isn't a take the car mostly apart deal

also need to program and do weighing
