Stinkeye Challenger build....

[Marc W]

Waiting on some pics of the rear/ladder bar from under the car. It’s complete and the drive line is finished. Dual chute anchor is in place. It’s rolling on the wheels now. Fuel cell and rear vented catch tank are being mounted and fuel system being put in place. The new carbon fiber deck and wing will cover it up and…... finished 👊. Latest pictures I have with more soon.

Back on the lift so we could get some pics of the finished rear from underneath…. 👊

Looks beautiful!

Looks. Like she’ll go straight.

Looks. Like she’ll go straight.

That’s going to be nice. At this point.. straight is good. Front wheels on the track instead of in the air is even gooder

Something’s happening 🫣

Car’s back in Utah for the new motor and some finish-up work. Need to complete the new fuel system for Methanol and some additional electrical. I finally get to get back to hands-on 🤗 Florida sure is nice. The drive back and forth… sucks

 

[fumanchu182]

You. No doubt

Due to more complications 100% will be you.

New fuel system ready for install 😎

So…what’s up you ask. Is that thing ever going to run? Sometimes it doesn’t seem like it but yes… progress is being made. Back home from Florida with its beautiful Redeye Racecars Rear and now… it’s in California getting some additional work on the cage, including a fresh 7.50 cert. I could have had Redeye Racecars do that but Carlin Fabrication did the cage and they get credit for it, so nobody else can work on it. While there, we will be fabricating a unique dual chute setup that is going to be different than what’s common. They will look like they’re floating 😳. So in the mean time…. I finally got my ice box and been getting it ready to install. A 5 gallon PNR with my old DC pump. It’s mounted on a PLM seat base (same as my drivers seat) and will ride shotgun with the hoses passing through the firewall. The other thing I picked up recently is a new harmonic damper. ATI as before but without the supercharger pulley and with a 15% underdrive alternator pulley. Saves 5 lbs off the weight of the supercharger version I’ve been running. Pics… 😎

That underdrive is worth its weight in gold for a turbo car. That’s also a serious ice box! Awesome setup.
