A little background. My wife was driving at NASA Nationals at Mid-Ohio in September '07, and in the main race her panhard bar mount broke, she spun, and was hit in the driver rear quarter panel. We took it to the body shop on January 14th, and told them it was no hurry.

So, good news. The car is apparently ready for paint. I'll take and post some pictures after we go check it out this afternoon. The body work guy said we should discuss how fancy we want to paint it. Fancy? Um, not.

I put this in GD - I notice we don't have a broke up car specific forum. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

There's a remote chance we'll be at WSIR Feb 9/10, but not in the Camaro. Paint should be done this weekend or early next week. Then it needs to get it's suspension fixed, and some method of fueling added. The stock tank had the filler neck pushed in and will need to be replaced, or we'll need to go with a fuel cell.

Not sure if we'll put a frrax.com sticker back there again. It was too big of a target apparently.

Are you going to bring the BMW or SER?

I had 5 FRRAX stickers on at one time, i'm now down to 2 with the new hood/hatch. And your telling me they are targets (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_eek2.gif) The 2 that remain are on both doors (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Kevin I may have to remove these (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Remove the door, keep the sticker. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)
