There is a 1/4 mile strip on Maui... the track here might be open by the Spring - so then we can do head to head and time trials....

We still have some fiberglass and fitment to do... there is a lot more fabrication that we had hoped for.

Kane 12-28-2008 10:11 PM

BTW - we are converting the interior to black; so the door panels, trim etc; are slowly getting swapped out in place of new Black ones.

D Baize 12-29-2008 01:57 PM

That project is looking great!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!

tubingchamp 12-29-2008 02:29 PM

Should have made the body out of 100% carbon fiber.. Imagine how light it would be :P

Looks amazing though, I can't wait to see the end result. Best of luck! (not that you need it)

Kane 12-29-2008 02:31 PM

HAHA CF - that might have blown our budget.

I am actually really happy with the weight of the fiberglass pieces it has - not too shabby.

Jedi54 02-04-2009 04:49 PM

I can't believe no one ever responded to the "OH SHIIIIIIIIII*************!!!!!" face!
So what's new with the Vette? We demand updates...

Kane 02-04-2009 11:07 PM

We have gone underground for a few weeks......

We will update soon. :D


Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh we are hunting wabbits.

NoOdLe BoY 04-30-2009 08:31 PM

the only vette i like.

im also eager to see the end product.

nuke0907 04-30-2009 08:32 PM

that hood looks badass!

Kane 04-30-2009 09:19 PM

Eh........ what happened was - we made a lot of torque.... a LOT.

So mcuh that we cracked the frame rail on the passenger side while doing a few um... traction tests.

Soooooo - it is going to be a bit more time until it is ready. We found a shop that can repair it and weld in some tubular supports.

It did shake all the walls in the shop though.... evil motor.

Jedi54 04-30-2009 09:20 PM

video or it never happened

Kane 04-30-2009 09:25 PM

I'll get pics.

NoOdLe BoY 04-30-2009 09:26 PM

oh i didnt even notice the hood nice.

tubingchamp 04-30-2009 09:26 PM

agreed

nuke0907 04-30-2009 09:41 PM
