    conversion. Took a lot more time and money than originally expected, but here it is. All that's left is a rear roll bar, some paint, and an allignment. Should be ready then!

    Paint is overrated.

    Default Lookin' good Brett

    Are those sidepod tops the Devins/HRP units? I see the other HRP bits:eng cvr and difuser.
    I can't tell from the pic, but they look like the stock (Pinto) opening. I had to open mine up and Mike D made some new radiused front openings, then made a mold of it all and is offering 1 pc side pod tops w/ the enlarged opening.
    If they are the stockers, you are probably gonna see some elevated temps - at least I did first time out...

    Yeah, screw paint, esp $800 helmet jobs! It's like brakes - they just slow ya down!

    The first outing should be Sebring thanksgiving weekend, Nothing else scheduled except Palm Beach, and I have to work that weekend. So I might as well paint something. If I would have been at this point two weeks ago, I would have been at Sebring last weekend.

    The side pod tops are stock pinto, but you are right, the rest has been correctly identified as HRP. Would like to try something else come spring time, before it really starts warming up. Just need to get it to the track, and run it. Then we'll see how the rest goes.
