So once I got the front clip back from paint it was time to put some dzus buttons onto the hood. I have one of the crush rivet so it makes for a nice clean finish when installed
Here is how it looked up close once all installed
Well now that I was getting close I needed to make sure I had a golf cart to bring to the track. So I got one of these little gems. LOL
But I in no way could use it the way it was. So since I was getting body stuff on the car painted I striped down the golf cart and sent it off to the painter also. While it was striped down I ordered some wheels
Now since I plan to bring the family to the track with me I had to get a back seat set up. My wife said since she will be driving it around we should get a few little look good parts also. Why would anyone argue if your wife tells you to get something. So I ordered a few other bolt on parts and this how it looked when finished
Now with the car getting close I only had a few minor details to button up. One of the big things was to get the NHRA chassis cert done. Luck for me I was able to have a tech guy come by my house during the NHRA US Nationals and get that all taken care of. With no issues at all it passed
I also installed all the Racepak data stuff on the car. The nice thing about the Racepak is with the V Net connectors I was able to just plug the Bigstuff 3 & MSD Grid System right in. This will make sure I can see all of them on the Racepak and I added a few chassis tuning sensors to the car also
Front Lazer Ride Height
Rear Left & Right Shock Travel
I did a firewall bulkhead
I also mounted the vacuum sensor & oil pressure sensor on a bulkhead style fitting on the inside of the firewall and ran lines to them. The other thing that I did was put a analog oil pressure gauge on the outside of the car so it can be seen and if a sensor ever goes bad you can make 100% sure it has pressure
Next to make sure it was all correct I had Joe O from Hyperaktive Performance Solutions come over and make sure it was all working correctly.
It was not long after I had everything fired up and Joe checked to make sure all systems were talking to each other
When he was done I had a few channels that were ready to log some data
Well as things come to end on the build side I keep getting more and more excited. I will get more updates up ASAP
