We started this team with a wrecked '94 Honda Civic. The front and hood were a little ugly, but she cleaned up nicely.
|
Lovely metallic green, with a crunched front. |
|
Some spray cans and child labor... |
|
Ta da! It's a race car. |
Sure we had some minor scrapes, but nothing a few zip ties couldn't handle.
|
Zip ties are great for body work too! |
She was still looking pretty until the LeMons race in Sept 2010 at CMP. Bam! 80 mph hit to the passenger side and a trip to the tire wall.
After a few more seasons, and a few "who left the hood pins out!" incidents. It was time to for some fixing up. Fortunately, Rock Auto sells body panels for $35 a piece. We bought some stuff and Roger went to work. Duffy is looking good and ready for more action this season.
|
Gotta love Rock Auto. Dirt cheap Civic parts |
|
Off with the old... |
|
... on with the new |
|
Add a little primer, |
|
and spray some rattle cans, and Duffy's prettier than ever. |
|
We even have a new trailer, with brakes! |
|
AND, a new camera. Race videos coming soon. |
We'll be posting our 2014 race schedule soon, come out and join us.
