Default '68 Road Race Replica - Shawn Jakes

Ok, I'm not as hard core as some of you guys. Although for a guy that has visions of builds I do, I do an ok job and I accomplish a bit more than a guy that just dreams.

I've raced Dirt Circle Track for the past 10 years, and now have decided its time to invest my time and $$$ in something that won't be wrecked every Saturday night.

You can always check out more details about me at my website: www.geocities.com/sjrracing

Otherwise here is the start of what I've done to follow along to my latest project.

Last but not least the current project......

This is most likely the one that all of you can relate to:

Getting the cage put it in as I type. I'll update once I get it back home, will be putting it back on the rotiserre and painting the bottom etc.

Here's some of the latest updates...... sorry I've fallen behind on the latest.

Here we have the cage installed, Seats installed...

After I had all my changes fitted and completed, it's time to put it back on the rotiserre for the bottom side clean up, prep and paint.

Here we also got the interior prepped and painted. With the race theme, we decided to go with Bedliner the same color as the cage.






Obviously the photos don't do the color any justice, but I couldn't be happier.
