IM me your name and location if you want it displayed on the trunklid of the car for donating. It'll most likely say "I built this dinosaur" at the top of the trunklid, and the names and locations of those who donated under the title.

Right, so like Tommy said, we got the wheels swapped on the drivers side so we can make this thing roll.

Sure enough, reverse threads on the driver's side.

They soaked in PB Blaster for a few days, and came right off with a little impact action.

Back one on

And front on. In true demo derby style.

Unfortunately we didn't find anything we could use at the swap meet, so donation money is most likely going into spark plugs and wires this week.

Thanks everyone, we appreciate the support very much.

A short to do list for the next month:

-Floors

-Brakes

-Try to swap the rearend

-Exhaust

After that, we will be very close to having it moving.
