Good news is that Dave Smith and crew at FFR are helping with some of the body work/graphix/etc. and I am building a new engine/gearbox/brake package with ABS to run a 12 hour race this year in September. Lots of work going on, and we are going to derate the horsepower a bit and try some new stuff in the transaxle. I wanted to get a Gleason into the transaxle, but doesn't look like that will happen, but we are looking at alternatives.
I have been upgrading the trailer and communications for the race team so all the crew can have radios and know what is going on.
It really doesn't seem like the crash damage was that bad as the car drove into the trailer under it's own power and did not have any fluid leaks. Will have to measure everything though to make sure.
I'll get a thread going here soon about the rebuild project.
