[AlexPfeiffer]

I'm just pretty excited to get to drive again. Its been a while and i'm a little rusty. I'm sure it wont be long till im in some kick a$$ car and mixing it up with the big boys. Till then, i'll just be hanging out in the back of the pits with my old 180.

Awwwww my hero is back! Alex you rawk! If anyone ever wonders why I crash so much, it's because a wise man once gave me the best advice ever

"If you don't win, be sure to make the crash reel"

Good luck to ya! It will be just like riding a bike....except way cooler.

alex, how is your new car coming along?

[AlexPfeiffer]

Here's the update,






Today's work,

Started this way, one main hoop and one A pillar bar fitted.


Yes its that close


Added other side then the top bar


Then made some braces


And tacked them in


Then some for the front


Then welded the bottoms


Made some holes to drop the cage down under the base plates to weld the top sections in,
after the bottoms, pulled the base plates out and dropped the cage down to weld the tops.



Here's the finished front section
Yes that small black line inbetween the cage and the body is the gap.



Random stuff,
Subframes before,



Headlights,

Sweet! nice to see you in a new car Alex!! Cant wait to see that thing done and on the track. Are you gonna make it to FD in Vegas this year?

[AlexPfeiffer]

I'd like to run all the events, just trying to secure sponsors for this year. Going to be working on the car and hopefully people will take notice and want to jump on this project.

Didnt get too much done today. Was on the phone alot trying to get parts and such.

Added the rear bars,


Goes into the rear, trying to tie as much of the frame rails as possible


Then made some cool under fender tie ins


They go from the front legs of the cage to the under area of the shock towers


Then an evo came back from storage, I did the cage and it went out to paint, then went into storage till they had time to put the rest of the car back together. Here's some pics,

Are you going to use a 2J or a 1U in this? I know there's a place in aussie land that makes a bellhousing to mate a R154 to the 1U. The name of it slips my mind right now but if you're interested I'll look it up.

[BigGameHit]

good stuff man, should be very cool once done.

very nice fabrication.

[AlexPfeiffer]

The plan right now is 2j.

[AlexPfeiffer]

I know its saturday, still have work to do.

Welded in the main 6 point




Then put the car on the rack, drained the gas tank, took out the brake lines and fuel lines, took out the gas tank, and getting it ready to send to the media blasters. Think I found a place to powder coat the chassis.

Get Your Priorities Straight!

Pfeiffer-
How do you expect to be a Guitar Hero World Champion when your spending all of your time working in the garage!?

(just kidding- good to see your fabrication talents put to good use!)

[AlexPfeiffer]

I'm tired of playing video games to kill time. Feels good to spend so much time in the shop again.
