Ryan still has his corner weights, so that is what I am using.

In the process of removing the trunk lid hinges the rear glass broke, no bid deal minus the mess it made. Here a few pics of the progress. This will be a little easier to seal off the trunk area all said and done also.

Lexan rear window!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

nice car

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

wow. simply amazing man. great work!!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Looks awesome! Keep it up.
Lexan/acrylic/polycarbonate scratches easy, so make that your last item to do if you go that route. I know there is a company somewhere that makes scratch resistant plastic windows for race cars, but they're a bit more expensive than getting your own lexan and doing it yourself.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Percy's Speed Glass is the one you are thinking of, http://www.percyshp.com/. If I do just lexan it would be temporary until I could do the hole car in speed glass.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Just clear coat the lexan.

Looking good dude, now on to the engine.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Reid mentioned you were using a plasma cutter to remove stuff, so I whipped mine out and got to work.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

I was impressed!

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Gross, I don't think anyone wants to see chromepuff whip anything out.

I heard from a little birdy this thing is getting close and that power to weight is mighty impressive.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Rumor mill, uh oh....

I think we are the re assembly stage, we will see what happens over this week.

As for power to weight, we will see on both for the final numbers, but its looking like 2500lbs with me in it, and power, well 1000 crank hp should make this thing move at the track, But to start it will be E85 and around 7xx crank hp.

And yes the plasma cutter has been used a few times to remove weight. I have taken a truck bed size load to the scrap yard all ready. Its getting close to weigh the chassis again, last time I reinstalled vital parts but still lost weight.

I hope this turns out the way you want it or even better.

Re: 91 Galant VR4
 

Hope this thing ends up looking like Rau's AWD before he got rid of it. That thing was light!
