3 day weekends are incredible...
Got a lot of small things done this weekend. Finally picked up both cars from the cage guy. The roll bars look great and are exactly how I wanted them done. I painted the bars and weld areas with rustoleum primer and will finish them up with a flat black next weekend. I'm not going to paint the entire inside of the car for now, but just wanted to get paint on the bar to protect it from rust.
I dropped my car back off to have a skid plate welded under the engine to protect the oil pan and have a battery tie-down fabricated to my battery so it doesn't come flying out.
My to do list is getting much smaller now, and my fear of not making Hyperfest is improving. My biggest concern is getting my new MD license and registering both cars. I just can't find the time to get into the DMV.
Next weekend I'll install the seats and then I just need to order harnesses, roll bar pads, a helmet, and possibly tires. Oh, still need to fix my gauges, but I found a group of ground wires under the steering column that someone cut and spliced back together- possibly why the gauges dont' work and keep blowing fuses. I'll probably have to take it to this European shop to figure out.
Check out the pics, there are a ton of them!
