    Anybody have any ideas on what I can do on my racecar while I am waiting to get the rear end assembled? I am going to start getting ready to wire up everything, everything that I can already get wired I will do this next week.

    I also have my fiberglass stuff in that I can work on, but I am not sure if I should do that until I get an engine in it.

    So, does anybody have any ideas on small things that I can do on my racecar, that does not cost money, but will help out in the long run? I would like to stay busy on this car so that it will not become an unfinished project. I would sure hate for that to happen.:Dou:

    I suggest letting your dad drive it.

    gut the complete interior and door panels.

    Take out/off and sound deading and other "build up" that has gethered over the last 39 or so years.

    I must have scraped for three days on the floor pans while I had my car a part.

    I still find little pieces of glass in the dash vents and inside the doors where somewhere in the cars life it got a side window broken out.:eek2:




    while your at it look in the trunk drop area. :TU:

    Thanks for the info. I have done a lot of work to gut the car. (I cut the metal out from underneith the door panels, and the side impact braces from inside the doors) I am going to put the door panels back in, because I like the stock looks.

    I put some heat/sound deadner back in since it is a street driven car.

    Not really tring to loose weight, I got mine down to 3050 pounds.

    What else did you do to the car? Do you have any pictures? That is my goal, and if I can get it lighter that would be even better!
