All i can say is i am way...way...way... behind... Sorry for the delay but i have used up most of my waking time on shop building and machine installation and getting this batch of sprint cars complete. I am to the point that i have to un-hook old machines and start moving machines that will stay into the new machine shop. I have new machines being built at this moment and all is hitting around the same time. So i am very glad my customers understand this and they expect quality from me so they are willing to wait... I will be updating the 427 engine thread also... I have most of the sprint cars back from powder coat and i am posting the one that is featured in this build. Thanks for looking!

I am fabricating several front axles and i wanted to show off the laser cut tabs i make for them. When every thing slows down and time is available i will be putting a section on my website that will have all the special tabs and brackets that can be purchased so a builder can fabricate their own parts. I realize there is a lot of people out there that can assemble bits and pieces but do not have a source for the individual items. That is no longer an issue i will be offering standard parts along with custom components for builders.

Here is one of the older machines being loaded. This has been a great machine and has put a lot of food on my table but the new machines are smaller and faster and can do more.

Along with building the chassis we design and machine our own body molds. We then send our molds out to a couple of vacuum formers that form them. Here is one of our tail section molds that is getting the final finish.
