Projects Henry J Southeast Gassers build

Nice work.

 

You guys work FAST.

 

finished up the cage tonight.

 

Finished out my weekend of thrashin on the car to paint some.

 

Keep thrashing it looks good.

 

3 1/2 weeks bro! Keep thrashing!!!! Couldn't figure out why you weren't posting.......oooo I'm just not getting updates again!

 

Started runnin the Brake lines tonight. I wasnt even gonna work on it, was planning on having an easy night...yeah right lol

 

And of course you need to have some weird off brand line lock . Hope it works....

 

It will work until get ready to stage for the finals of a race. Then it will either not work or not release.
That's my luck.

 

Good news is, it'll be easy to swap out and someone might have a spare at the track!!

 

DOH....maybe i should have spent the long dollar on the Hurst.. =O

 

If you never had one not release ,you are in for the ride of your life when the front end comes down and the front brakes are locked up and your wheels are not straight and you are turning about 8500 rpm's and reaching for another gear. Ask me how I know this.

 

I think my stomach is in my throat.....

 

Finished up the front brake lines today. Double flare for the win

 

Did the cardboard templates for the Trans tunnel tonight....So sick of doing floor crap...lol

 

I am getting ready to start on my floors. It just takes time to make it not looked hacked.

 

Yeah, im trying to make it look nice, but at the same time im 5 races behind so im really trying to work fast

 

Put the wife to work. By that i mean she graciously volunteered to help. She finished up the paint in the interior today

 

And i spent most of my day (er, all damn day) making big chunks of Lexan into smaller chunks of Lexan...... Also made an utter mess of my shop in the process. The windows are all to size i just need to tint them and mount. so for the photos they are just laying in the window channel.

 

Great looking Henry!! I do have one question though. Is a mid plate allowed? Just curious for my builds sake.

 

Yes, more so than the front plate for sure. I know Quain runs them in his. You will still want a mount of some sort on the tail shaft though or they ten to crack the housing.

 

Looks like you have made great progress while I was out braking my car for the weekend.

 

In the words of Rusty Sampsel....."There are two stages of race cars, broken or in the process of being broken! ". Truer words have never been spoken!!!!

 

That looks like a Biondo unit. That is what I have always ran. Have had one in service for almost 20 years without failure.

 

How are you going to tint the windows?

 

Ok saw the reply on FB - so just shoot the colored clear over the lexan?

 

I used VHT Niteshades, in red. Doesn't come out as clear as it should but not bad. Spray the inside of the lexan! You can get colored tint in sheets on ebay.

 

Good to hear. Yeah I for sure will run a rear mount.
