So what's the plan for this? Road racing? Time attack?

 

I'd love to get into time attack, but I'd be scared to f' it up road racing.

 

I feel like its more of a danger on public roads. . . atleast HPDE educates, unlike getting a driving license

 

Agree, but I think JDMxGE8 meant "road racing" as in sactioned racing on a paved surface...

This car will probably not see much time on public roads...I'm scared some yahoo will rear end me at stop light. Also, I bet every Tom, Dick, and Harry will want to race me constantly.

 

Then def. avoid midway. lol

 

Yes, by road racing I meant W2W racing.

 

What kind of filler do you prefer to use BnD?

I am a huge fan of Rage & Rage Gold. The stuff sands off like it is made of air.

 

I use the Rage Extreme (Pink can)...it is good stuff. For spot repairs I use Bondo glazing compound...comes in a tube and sands really easy as well.

 

Still smoothing things out on the lip of the rear diffuser...I hope to have this part done this weekend, then I can start on the actual diffuser:

 

I love the smell of Rage, or any bondo for that matter. /weird

 

So I finished mocking up the diffuser lip and I'm about 75% happy with the way it turned out (I'm OCD + perfectionist). This was as much a "proof of concept" as anything...and I learned alot from working on it. Now I know what to do to make it >95% how I want it and I will reattempt this project soon...

 

SEX!

4 words

move to texas now

 

LULz...I ended up staying here to continue my training (work), so it looks like my Temple TX plans are on hold for 4 more years. You'll be the reigning champ of TX motor speedway by the time I get there!

 

fixed.

haha so! come anyways! screw work!

 

This is a great build thread - awesome job - can't wait to see what is next.

 

Got the rear doors back today...sans trim and door handles:








And here you can see what the door trim and rear door handles looked like previously:

 

The REAR doors are getting gutted out...they will basically just be shells. The FRONT doors will retain all power features - windows (especially since I gutted the AC vents out of the dash) and locks.

 

are you going to weld them shut? (rears that is) also remove windows? lock windows up?

 

I thought about welding them shut...but the rear doors sure make it easy to work on the interior of the car....LOL:

 

haha i was debating on welding mine too. lol
