For clarity, the race car "wrenching party / get it ready for the Hammers" will be at Geoff's house on Friday night starting at 6 PM. We will NOT be at the shop. Everyone is welcome! We have a big enough list to accomodate anyone who wants to help. :-)

I'll TRY very hard to make it, I'm moving Saturday so it all depends if everything is taken care before then..

Man, what an INSANE week. We got the car back from LetzRoll on Sunday night and we're working on it all week (and be we, I mean Geoff...)! Friday night is group night family fun work on the buggy night. Saturday and Sunday are nothing but testing and tweaking. I'll have pics and video up by Monday because we will be READY for some KOH!

The coilovers, coils, final welding, new drive shafts, fuel system, steering box, doors and roof cut, and skid plates are all complete, so she was loaded up on the trailer to come home for another week. She doesn't nose down quite this much in real life, but I have the front straps cranked down pretty good. Level it out and you have the idea. 7" of up travel, nice and balanced. We have to wrap up actually securing the roof and skins, tighten, build a bumper, camera mounts, fab the safety net mounts, mount the safety nets, fuel cell filler line and mount, and 1,000 other tiny little details that are maddening.






a little sponsor lovin'




and some midnight oil going on this week...

I figured I better google map Geoff's place so I know where to go. Pretty sure I found the right house:



I think Geoff should get major rep points for flexing out in his yard for google maps. Too bad you can't see the higherground sticker.

I also tried the street view, but I don't recognize this Jeep:
