I’m back from my adventures in sunny Tucson, AZ.

Adam has been hard at work finishing up the floors and installing the fuel cell in ToadRacer.

We will make a hard push at getting things buttoned up over the next month in an effort to be ready for the Lemons race in Sebring, FL 8-9 May.

I'm guessing I won't be there. I went to the Lemons website, and see they are not allowing spectators. You must be pre entered, with a team, to be allowed on site.

You should be able to be a crew member. That locks you in all official like. You even get some bling for your efforts! We would LOVE to have you on the team Charlie! I'll pay your crew entry fee.

The team is signed up for Sebring and hotel reservations are made, so I guess we'd better git busy!

Looking forward to this... Maybe I'll drive the 62 down so we have a matching pair of toads.

Don't let Charlie near a helmet or he may just knock you young wipper-snappers out of the way and show you how real a driver drives!!

Very productive day on ToadRacer yesterday.

Shifter, master cylinder, brake proportioning valve all mounted.
Verified some things on the racing harness mounting.
K frame notch completed.
Holes covered in rear bulkhead.
Anti-slosh foam added to fuel cell.
Fuel cell cage mostly painted.
Several other little things I'm forgetting.
Lots and lots of bench racing and BSing.

Photos to follow...

It's gettin there. do the rear doors still work?

When you guys get a lot of the other stuff sorted out do a regulator and glass delete and cut the door skinz off and weld them back to the body.

So cool, Rob. I'm noticing all the sheetmetal welds to seal the firewall and replace the floors, really nice.
Question: what's that purple knob on the steering column right in front of the cage cross-bar? Is that another quick disconnect?

I think that's the steering shaft Bearing - it's a rad end bolted to the front cage Cross bar.

Sort of like one of these shiznits..
