It's the bird laugh.gif I have the interior out right now trying to strip a little weight out, and adding a rollbar ect.... And I have found over $31 in change so far biggrin.gif UNDER the carpet, and IN and around the seat mounting cross brace blink.gif

How much does $31 in change weigh? rotf.gif

We're going to need a breakdown of the change. $31 in pennies is quite heavy while $31 in dollar pieces is considerably lighter. This is why I prefer to carry paper money.....less weight.

I go faster on paper cash......

Visa ... the lightest fuel for a race program ...

About half was in quarters, most of the rest was silver with about .50 in penny's.

....it is AMAZING how much change you find when stripping a car...I found a similar amount in the Camaro...

It was so bad, that some of it was INSIDE the unibody frame....I would come into the pits for the first few sessions and find a quarter or two on the floor.... rotf.gif

I just wish this cash cow put out more nutkick.gif This stuff is expensive.....


You can see the unibody cross brace's for the seat's in this pic, I got about $8 out of it last night.


I need $20's and $100's to start poping out though burnout.gif

That is pretty cool.

I stripped a street car to change the paint color once and found about $25 worth of change. thumbup.gif

I had a similar find in my car when I pulled the carpet to put in the roll bar. I found over $50 in quarters all from the previous owner. They use to drive alot of toll roads.

...so Jason has the Bilstein race shock valving dialed in now eh? When I talked to him LAST YEAR about this he was close....I was/am considering his Penske Triple Adjustable (tell your wife I am sorry for EVEN mentioning them to you biggrin.gif ) but don't know how much playing I would do with the rear of the car....and besides, the Bilsteins ARE adjustable....just takes about 45 minutes more to do it....

I LOVE THE BILSTEINS IN THE FRONT! 2thumbs.gif

...oh the house WILL BE DONE in about 2 days....it is very near a "model home" now.....I am spent on it....pushing to be done by New Years....

Then it is time to clean out the garage.....pull the race car out of the trailer, and spend some of those "honey do" dollars I have earned for ONE YEAR of this thing....I expect to get AT LEAST one free major upgrade without the typical bitching... rotf.gif

rotf.gif I hear ya. I'm Lucky my wife likes cars as much as I do. Otherwise I would be in the same boat. So so long as I don't spend the food money on the car, I get bitching free upgrades tongue.gif

Everytime I've pulled the interior out of my car I've found a small fortune. It's truly amazing.

Wow that is alot of change you guys found in your cars. I'd think you would here it rattling around.

I found I guess around $2 didnt count...but I think my car was owned by a poor boy before me also.... hmmm $37 that'll get some supplies biggrin.gif spray cans or something.
Umm and he/she was a pot head too that must have spillled every drink that was brought in the car. laugh.gif sticky under there eewww
