almost sad to see your suby torn up like that...

while all that devastation was taking place 5 miles away at the shop, usp was delivering the new "G-Force" 5 point 3" harnesses.

the pic sucks but check out the lever on the cam release. like most of my close-ups, it looks better as a thumbnail (isfh).

we removed the door panels to mitigate the hazards posed to the interior when ricky starts welding in the cage. as it is, we're going to have to blanket all the glass and the dash from all the sparks. of course, i'll do a full report with pics on how we engineer and execute it.

hey, childbirth sucks, too, but you get to slap the baby on it's ass when it's done (isfh).

bruce, stop whoring your own thread.

jk

nice harnesses!

Bruce,
Since you are so far dissasembled and going to weld why don't you go ahead and seam weld the chassis like Prodive does for the rally cars. It is supposed to help chassis stiffness a lot.

i'll suggest that to ricky.

right now we're planning on going through the floor and welding the cage on to square steel tubbing runners along both sides. this thing will be pretty thoroughly braced when we're done.

Looks like you and Ben have competing racecar threads

You've got him on engine mods, and it appears he's got you on weight savings

***evilSTi7*** · 03-20-2006, 10:10 PM

i looked at the cards you sent me and they were very cool. are you planing to hand them out at englishtown, or just wherever?

***Neanderthal Racing*** · 03-21-2006, 05:13 AM

the projects card are for whenever, evil. we're designing a team cutn edg t-shirt for the lead-up to englishtown available to anyone who wants one.

nhluhr: i'm really digging your signature. can you make the logos a little bigger?

Chris05STi · 03-21-2006, 05:21 AM

I will glady wear a Cutn Edg T-Shirt!!!!! Can't wait to see how the roll cage comes out...I know it will look sick.

revnup · 03-21-2006, 06:03 AM

Bruce,
I was gonna say you oughta send a shirt to Quirt, but he'd probably just argue with you about the arm to sleeve clearance. I can't wait to see how you do when you get that sucker rollin. Good luck!

after talking with ricky about it i realized we had already discussed the issue only in different terms. we're doing it selectively and strategically rather than going completely nutz. (it is possible i've already gone completely nutz)
