    The T-Top to hard top conversion was started today after a trip to Wench-A-Part with the sawsall.

    A friendly competitor sent me plans for a rear wing:

    Now that the summer break is here he has more time to work on it instead of fixing tore up Miatas. I took the junk yard roof up yesterday so he could weld in the side supports to make the T-top into a hard top.

    The doors are a little more wobbly than I like. Once the nascar bars are done I may have to look at some bracing.


    First Eagles Canyon probably not, Labor Day maybe, Fall eagles canyon and Snow bird should be no problem.

    Yeah, that was about a year out on my car! then again, I'd built the car while I was on desk duty with a back injury and it was after the drive'r school before I had the interior painted. then it was another year before the next school... I took my time.

    The welder said he should have the cage finished this week. I'm going to find an excuse to go by there tomorrow and check on it. I'll take the camera. With the cage they are building I don't think I will have to worry about ballast. But they are doing what I ask them to do, make sure I walk away from it no matter the hit and can get out if it is on fire.

    I know, not asking for much.

    Sweet! Stick Grahovec in STO! I'm tired of him beating me (if/when he finishes a race....)
