More shiney-ness...
Yup another "68 Camaro...I kinda like this casting :)
Hi Guys,
We are at three weeks out from the start of Bare Muscle II...I hope everyone is getting there cars dialed in!
I'm hoping to spend some time on mine this weekend!
I'm looking forward to this one!

- Cool JDC...I'm glad that you'll be joining us for this one! — 72_Chevy_C10
I am planning on building 2 40g and 2 57g entries. Is it OK if my Dad does a 40g and a 57g? He says he is thinking of jumping in on this.
I was able to get my axle tubes and wheels installed this weekend...both are rolling pretty nice, but I have to get some weight in them and see how they do!
Looking forward to this one! :)
Oh, and don't forget, Guys, you can run two teams in this one, if you want to!
Hmmm, I wonder how well this will work...
Okay, not a bad start...
I'll need to adjust the wheel wells a little and get the body sitting down over the chassis a little better
Bare metal...
Let's see if I can get some speed out of it :)
- good casting, last years champ was a narrow wheelbase car... — Traction-Event
- How'd you strip that? Wire wheel? — Traction-Event
- yup, wire wheel on a bench grinder — 72_Chevy_C10
- be very careful to stay under center when using a stationary wire wheel or sanding disc. GLASSES ! — model40fan
- yeah, I had a wire wheel on a 4" grinder take a bite out of my forearm last Summer...Ouch! — 72_Chevy_C10
A few final things and they'll be headed out.
We are 2 weeks out for the race! I hope that everyone has a Great Memorial Day Weekend...and that youa re able to spend a little time in the workshop, wrapping up your cars!
This ought to be a fun one...I've built some slow cars, now I need to find some speed this weekend, so I can send my cars off to Traction Event!
