Wow, someone recently bumped this build log from the dead!
Been such a long time since I touched the car at all, about 3.5 YEARS since I promised pics of the roller
Poor thing has been collecting dust and surface rust on the table in my garage all this time with it's main use being place for storage of packing materials and such..
But, today, for the first time in years, I spent about an hour working of small issues with the fitment of the front shocks and looking for bolts that have gone missing over time, put the thing together, and for the very first time - had it rolling around on the ground.
And once it was rolling, we rolled it immediately onto my trailer and moved the car to its new home - the new Blackbird Fabworx shop in Canoga Park, CA
Finally, a proper work space where I can tackle the rest of this build and get the thing going.
Took a pic next to my current racecar (named Creampuff) and just enjoyed the moment of seeing this thing on the ground for change.
I'll try to update more as I go, it won't happen fast since I'm currently building another Miata racecar which will hopefully go on a shake down run at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway around the end of the month, and Creampuff is getting completely redone too as a high power, high downforce, low weight rocket.
