I’m bringing it to have the cage welded and when I do the misc. rust spots, hatch holes and floor pan/frame rail are getting welded too. But I wanted the suspension and seats in BEFORE that so the cage could tie it all in. Also the seats needed to be mounted anyways so the Harness bar height could be correct.

No thanks. I’m not trying to soak every .1 whp out of this car. I like comfort in my interior. I’m putting a new carpet in at some point this summer too. I wasn’t the one who stripped it. I’m glad the back seat is gone though.

I have thought about your bet but here’s the deal:

1.) You have had experience at this track. I have not.  
2.) Your response to #1 will be “Well the first time I went I still placed first without knowing the track.”  
3.) My response to #2 is “You now have a SUBSTANTIAL increase in power.”  
4.) I will accept your bet in September. By then the RB will be up and running in the hatch and the playing field will be level: We will BOTH have experience there, we will BOTH have good suspension setups, and we will BOTH have good power.

Deal?
