Hey Guys,
Just another update. I know its been awhile, but I have been busy trying to get my house ready to move in.
We have begun removing the body from the frame of the car so that we can sand bast and paint it. We have also recieved our manual steering rack that we will be putting in the car. This will eliminate all of the power steering pump and hardware. It should drop a few pounds from the car. Once the frame is clean and painted, it will be put back under the body so that the body work can begin. First will be chemical stripper to remove the paint. This will take a few coats, as there is 3 or 4 different colors on the car now. Then we will begin the fiberglass repair work from when the new nose and rear quarter were put on wrong by a previous owner. After that, its time to play musical cars to make room in the small garage that is used as a painting booth.
We have also decided to go with Thunder Sky cells instead of the sky energy. This will still be 45 cells, not sure still weather it will be the 180Ah cells or something smaller, The 180 cells are what seems to be a very optimal cell for the goals of the car. They would provide a good run time, as well as huge amounts of power for showing off.
Well here are some pictures of removing the body and the new manual steering rack.
Enjoy
