|
The tire folks who mounted them for me noted that each tire/wheel was really light in weight. |
|
The lead added to balance the tire is taped on the inside of the wheel! |

The Beast is back from the paint shop. I hate doing body work because I can never decide if the finish product is smooth enough or not. |
|
The Hawaii winter weather, mostly rain, did slow down the progress on the body work. But I had to just pick a day, stop the body work and send the car out to the paint shop. |
|
It looks good from far, but it's far from good. The paint has drips and overspray, and the body does not have a stright line on it at all, but it's time to throw the race parts in and start racing! |
|
I need to let the new paint "breath" for two weeks before I can slap on the stickers. But I can work on dropping the engine and trans back into the engine bay. |
|
Now it's time for the graphic's to be designed and installed. The team purchased a vinly cutter and is busy at work making stickers for the race car. |
|
What better than to start of with the tean name accross the front of our car? |

You grab your pit crew, break out the engine lift, hook-up the engine, lift and spin! |
