[BaadAssGremlins] Last nights work

["Davis" <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well yesterday I worked on the black car for about 5 hours. I got her 
running again, starts right up now and runs good. I even did a little 
holeshot in the driveway! Couldn't resist. I finished taking the doors 
off. 3 bolts broke off on the drivers side F%$@^%@#%$#!!!! That's gonna 
be a pain in the assessets. Then I took the rest of the interior out, 
and cut out the roll cage. The only thing left is the dash, windshield, 
and the drivers seat. I started sanding the pas side fender on a saw 
horse. Decided to sand to bare metal on the fenders. I have one fender 
1/3 sanded now. I also did alittle sanding on the rear of the car. Boy 
I can tell ya I have A LOT of sanding to do. 
 Why did I cut out the roll cage you ask?  I welded it in the wrong 
spot originally. Too far forward. So i will install it into the rwb car 
and I have a brand new cage for the black car. Even though the new NHRA 
rule is that a cage is not required till 11.5 I will not race without 
one after seeing what happened to the Amc Team BBO Gremlin. I don't see 
there being much difference crashing at 107 MPH or 130 MPH. As you can 
see from the pics in Bill's file without the cage the car would have 
been a pancake. 
 So anyway that is my progress so far.
