If This Isn't A "creation From My Soul"

[Msterbeau]

I think I may have posted a photo or two of my last race car in the photo section... but something in another thread made me thing that it deserves it's own thread. I spent two years building this car. I stripped the car down from a full car to a bare chassis with only the glass left in it. I did most of the work myself except for a portion of the welding, and rebuilding the engine and gearbox, which was left to pros. The rebuilding took so long mostly due to money issues and having a my first daughter come along at the same time. I only raced it for a year due to my marriage failing..

Below are some of the pictures of the building of the car. There's a link at the bottom to a more complete pictorial guide to how it was built. There's text below the images that describe it.

My friend Tim provided a lot of help and experience building the roll cage.

I won six races out of 15 with it.

Nope. Panasport. Very popular on small road race cars because you can get custom widths and offsets.

For real?

I could probably throw a little money your way if you made it a learning experience, seeing as I have never done anything with suspension
