Re: New guy- RACO Jack Rabbit Restoration and Issues

Hey guys, here's an update:
I bought and installed the new fan cover- the engine is all set to go.
I bought a clutch, but I'm still waiting on a piston stopper to replace it.
I disassembled the front shock towers- they are not bent and I don't need new ones. The chrome bar in between the towers (the top one) is bent, causing the towers to lean at different angles. I bent it back the best I could and put some washers under one tower to compensate. It looks like the vehicle was hung by this bar on a hook, causing it to warp over time.
I emailed the plastics company a couple of weeks ago but never got a response. I've temporarily gutted the clutch bell area of the gear case to a point where it is acceptable for use.
