Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Last nights work

You got a lot of work done Davis. I am nervous now as I have to remove
the door hinges on my orange car this coming week to install new hinge
pins and bushing's and the last thing I need is to break any bolts off.
I think I will soak all the bolts real good with blaster for a few days
before trying to remove them. The roll bar is a wise move on your Race
Gremlins. The driver of your team car probably would not have survived
without it in that wreck.

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.
