Re-restoration in progress for some vintage racing

All it needs now is fuel, oil and water.

What is the height of the rear to the fender?

Shit, I was at the shop today and forgot to measure before I put it back on stands.

Took this a couple weeks ago after initial startup. Can't believe I took verticle video...dumbass.

And that ties in how ?

What is the height of the rear to the fender?

Took me a long time to remember, but here it is.

25” floor to fender lip at the rear and 24” at the front fenders.

Not car, but the hauler that gets it there!

When I bought the trailer in 2016 the awning fabric was crap. It was way past worn out, but everywhere I looked, replacements were stupid expensive so I used it as is. Earlier this year I did more digging and came across this place: http://www.toughtopawnings.com/

I filled out their worksheet and it came up below $350! I did more digging and found them to have very good reviews. I finally bit the bullet and had them make a replacement. It took 2 weeks to get it, but it was worth the wait. It's fairly large at 8' x 24' and was a handful for two people, but it was really easy to replace and the new one went on without any problems. It was only a 2 1/2 hour job too. I couldn't be happier with it and would highly recommend Tough Top if you need any type of RV Awning/Sun Shade replaced.

Sorry, I did not think to take any pics. Maybe at the track next weekend.

No... just predicting what his car will be ready for after lap 1

Well, Heartland Park race and Mid America meet has come and gone. The car ran awesome at both events and nothing has broken yet. That is a milestone in of itself

[Midlife]

Not true! You broke your recent run of breaking things!
