Cool Re: Warp Factor II - Winter Rebuild Thread!

Today I will be profiling the body near the tires. Wire the car. Epoxy all body mount and remove rivets. Car will be painted in June, the nose is getting some artwork from Jeff Disinger.

The motors are installed, but I have to remove the front bell housings on each motor to install the new brush holders and brushes that just arrived.

Thanks She's looking good! I'm all too familiar with how much work that represents - thumbs up for pushing through to see your vision realized.

Please tell me I don't see TWO Soliton Shivas under the hood of that thing! I can't wait to see this in action. The gas guys will have to go clean their shorts out.

Yep, it is often said that overkill is underrated

Thank you all. Last year we ran 10.08 ET, this year the car will be 250lbs lighter with more torque. After we try a couple of different rear diff set-ups, I am sure we can hit the low 8's or high 7's.
