[QUOTE="a1yola, post: 13975409, member: 83647"] Thought I'd share some updated photos of my 89 road race track car. Many of you have seen pics of it when I first got it in December. Its an ex-NASA American Iron race car, which was later raced in the SCCA American V8 Supercars Series. Since I brought it home it has been hibernating in the garage waiting to get abused! During the downtime/off-season, I decided to clean it up a bit... [b] When I first brought it home...[/b] [ATTACH=full]554490[/ATTACH] I decided to clean up the interior because it still had the stock sound dampening crap on the floor boards. Surprisingly, all the insulating material weighed over 20 lbs!
