- Front end 98% complete. Present day race shocks will be
on the car most of the time since the car will see a lot
of track time. A "period correct" set is being
built for when the car is "shown". This Carrera
set will be flipped back to body down which was more common
in 1983.

Same
day - just a view from above...
(Blue anodized brake fitting (top left) will be plated to
match the other non-anodized brake fittings).

Some
of the stainless steel brake lines had to be replaced. Here

View
of the rear. Rear aluminum shock mounts were reproduced
in-house and are available for sale. Due to the condition
and location of some of these parts the decision was made
to go ahead and chrome these as they were originally. Note
the removable frame sections to pull out rear. On the floor
are original style nerf bars made for us by Edmunds AutoResearch.
Rear which is being rebuilt is under car.

Heating
up the drive shaft center section to remove and replace
bearing. (Not an inexpensive bearing). While most equipment
is being restored to keep as much original equipment as
possible - bearing, bolts etc. are all being replaced so
that mechanically the car will be like new.
