				http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NASCAR-SPO-...=item1e5adbc1c5 Sound is better than the video (halfway through)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1-p83LywHY This is why I've listed so many things for sale recently. The owner of the car and I agreed that we would trade cars plus cash from me. I've been selling stuff to fun the difference and then to start a "trailer and safety equipment update fund". The net on the transaction was $200. Once I sell some more stuff that I don't need since I can't use it on the new car, this will become a zero dollar transaction (from my wife's perspective, if you know what I mean). This thing is pretty interesting. |

				Good luck and have fun with it! You are aware that a real race car will VERY QUICKLY turn your "zero dollar transaction" on its ear correct? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Seriously...should be fun! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)  Ya, restoring a vintage NASCAR is not for the light of wallet. From the pics, the stuff I see you'll need to fix for NASA, even HPDE: add another main hoop diagonal in the proper direction change padding to high density in the greenhouse add a right side net - or better yet, replace the POS seat with a proper head restraint seat fuel cell bladder and foam will need proof of < 5yrs old cover the terminals on the cutoff switch tow hooks front and rear - not apparent in the pics what is the hose on the pass door bar? does the column telescope or have a restraint to keep it off the driver? beyond that, I'd replace every bit of original plumbing, including brake lines then fresh tires, brake pads, valve springs and fresh fluids and you're good to go. |
