well its that time of year again for me, building my new speedway car. we had our fair share of hits in the last year so we thought we better build a new one.
i thought that i would post the build on here so some of my fellow boosters have a better understanding of the behind the scenes of a selected motorsport.

well first we break down the old car, mostly unbolt what we want. but the cage has to be cut out. so off with the roof nd out it came. then out with the exhaust nd motor. pushed the remains outsid to where she'd sit when the suspention would come out. put the new shell into the shed ready to start putting the parts back in.

this is first set of pics i will be posting about the process. oh and thanks to both my father nd father in law for givin me a hand with runnin the car all year.

input is welcome but there is no need to make a toss of yourself.

looks like a great project mate, good luck with it

cheers they are fun to drive as well

bit of an update for anyone who cares. now got the cage painted and in startin to look good. have to weld the roof back on tomorrow but also try nd have the wiring back in her too. hope to have the design painted on the outside next weekend. will keep ya posted.

redline race cars and rollcages cage ? sorry just asking as i use to make and send them

Don't forget to post pics of the finished product. Good luck, dude!

another update for those interested. we now have the cooling system, cockpit and fuel system in the car. also the panneling has been completed nd needs to be rubbed back for painting in the next few days. hoping to have her all painted up by the end of next weekend and the sinage on by mid week.

first race is 7th of november in lismore so we are cutting it a little fine, but we will get there.

some more pics.....

Is that a prefab cage?

yes

the cage i beleive is sorced through redline nd comes bent nd cut. all you have to do is weld it in.

well its now less than a week for this thing to be finished. got the paint on her today nd is lookin good. i'd like to thank a few people for helpin me get this far with the build.

in no real order, thanks to dad, skippy, b-rad, kev, teddy, bear, sal, kel and my kids seth nd georgia. without everyones help i'd still be stripping her down.

its finally done!!!!

very happy with the final product, signs work great with the car thanks to Tim Gamble Vinal Signs. timmy you got it spot on mate.
Anyways i would like to thank Aussie Auto,Casino Auto Wreckers, Six Feet Deep Clothing, Tim Gamble Vinal Signs, Everingham Engines and Trevor Reeves Builder for their support in the 09/10 speedway season.

Also if anyone would like to view the car in the flesh, get down to Casino McDonalds on Saturday (McHappy Day) as it will be on display.
