So its time to go solo. My last 2 4400 cars were built with some assistance by me. I did very little to zero fabrication on them. This time I am going for it, I have the basic know how its the patients to make things tight/look nice that I normally lack.
I picked up an X3 base chassis. Its straight, 2017, and apparently it was only driven a few hours before the PO build a chassis and swapped everything over.
Plan is simple... brace it, buy wrecked X3, move everything but the plastic over, add racing stuff... lose money trying to win racing. I will attempt to stay under $20,000 in parts and materials and I would like to drive it in February.
I ordered the CT RaceWorx chassis race brace kit. Its the basic gussets and bar they use to prep a chassed. Then I will add a cage, door bars, any other bracing I see fit.
This is heading off to get blasted tomorrow so its cleaner to weld on.
