Go fourth and
gather parts:
I think this
stage in the project is the most boring to me. I would
rather be hands on working on the Super than just out
scavenging for parts but it is a necessary evil. I am
getting better at finding good useful pieces that will
be key in the eXtreme Super project car. The latest is
the Nitrous tank and the NOS Purge System we will use
these and show you how to build your own nitrous system
from scavenged and some new parts.
Other Items I
have procured in the last month are the PT Cruiser
Street tail light assemblies and the 12” Rockford
Fosgate Subwoofer.
The Super Beetle
project car is still out at Grobbel Racing. They are
working on the electrical system. One of their biggest
hang-ups was the starter. It seems that when a car has
sat in a barn for 8+ years the starter tends to freeze
up. Jason G. took the starter out and rebuilt it to be
like new.
Grobbel Racing
has remotely mounted the Optima battery in the front
(trunk), and has installed the push button starter
system.
Well that’s the
update for now.
Thanks, Jim
