Its pretty insane there...every stall has a car, some have two cars, one up and another under and there was at lease a tech at each of them.

It was then that I realized that I needed to get my sh** together. It was funny, I told the guy (Aaron) that was assigned to the Camaro "and they actually pay you to work here?" he replied... "yeah, haa haaa but you get to build cool stuff like this".
That made me think, ok im on the right track. Just need more help!

Full on race cars are a PITA... I'd rather build you a strace car.

The car had a section from what looked like a door screen. I was going to replace the valance but decided to do something with the gaping hole.

20 ga cold rolled, bent shaped, made two flanges and opened up the centers. Added a 1/8" mesh and decided to leave the rivets silver. It plays off of the wheels well.

Better than a "reet-car," that's for sure.

This place is amazing. This is what my shop wants to be when it grows up.

As soon as I get my bearings i'll update the updates...we are still staying dark till then.

Mazda powered BFG livery Lola T616 hiding on the right?! So sexy... GTP cars are the Elle MacPhereson of race cars. From an older generation and still 10x hotter than anything that's running today!
