Almost complete just need to finish the exhaust and the extension handle for the fuel shut off sense the valve is near the tank in the trunk area. Most likely traveling to Seekonk speedway in the next few weeks.

Looks great, unfortunately it won't look that good for very long. Have fun!

LW I know lol Its a super tight 3/8 asphalt with high car count...check out the pic here of my last car after first race. Thats what its all about. Also I noticed if you dont use clear coat you can easily touch stuff up later.

Lemons if my home track will ever open this year we use transponders on hotlaps under new london waterford speedbowl... prob wont happen this year though track is having issues.

As promised here is the second half of my build video.. a very rough look in

Got out for our first event in this car... missed practice 1 because water was to full and it started to blow. Missed practice 2 because fuel tank vent was on the right side of the car instead of left and fuel came blowing out (see pic). After wrestling the car for the 2 hours between practice 2 and the feature we got most things fixed. Problem now is the setup... car is getting smoked in the corners. Did the camber in the front by modifying the lower part of the strut. Still need to add camber in the back. Also noticed what a diff the 13s make instead of the 14s, there's about 10 sc2s out there and they were all on 13s and all getting way more rpm... work in progress will post pix.

The car looks amazing on track! Sucks it didn't go as you had hoped, but that's the fun of racing. Building, testing, and making improvements. You'll have it going faster than any Saturn rightfully should.
