Thought I would throw a few pictures up of progress to date on Justice11.
*Engines ready and waiting at Sams.
*Car is down at Mood Motorsports, near Sams. Moody is doing the complete car including radiator fuel cell etc. Chassis and tin being done as we speak, diff fitted this morning.
*All tin work will be completed Wednesday.
*Car to paint shop Wed. Colour? Painter wont tell me but it is the Same guy that did Plan B, so it doesnt matter as it will look fantastic.
*Car back Sunday after full strip and paint
* Fitted up Mon with Eng, Trans etc. Wired By Matty at Sams Mon Night
*Diff back Tues and fitted after HPC coat. (Got to look good too)
*Dyno Tuesday
* Tuesday Night is a Rest Night
*Wed morn off to the Nationals. Too Easy
Told you there was plenty of time to get it done! Big Thanks to Darren, Bob and Anthony at Mood Motorsport. Incredible work with both Speed and Quality.
Also Danny at Custom Body Works who is doing the Paintwork
As always, Sam is Sam and he has done a great Job on the Engine as well as advice on the Car.
Thanks also to Plan b and Criso for different bits of help and advice as well
For those of you that are looking at Alloy Radiators, have a look at the ones at the Nationals and Talk to Darren Mood as he will be there. Great advice and Great price on any alloy work etc. He will also have some specials on offer at the Nationals.
Am I happy. Ooh Yeah :D :bounce:

No mention of a parachute on the list! I think it will need at least 1, if not 2 to stop!!!

Yep it's got a parachute. Just couldnt be without one. Its all about looking good.
I have a question though...........

No I havent driven a car like this. Only been down the strip 3 or 4 times in any car. best 13.9 worst 20+ secs
Of course the Nationals won't be a shakedown run. Even I am not that silly. It will get a run down Sams driveway next Tuesday night. :lol:
Seriously though Heathcote will be it's first run.

Spent half the day buffing it as we dont have time to paint
Moody has been in there all day doing the tin work. Man he is fussy. Everything must be perfect, unlike me. I asked him if we can un without tin. He said a flat no it's not leaving till it's ready.
If you ever need Chassis, tin, intercooler or radiator work just have a look at Plan B's ute or my Calibra at the Nationals and I guarantee you wont go anywhere else but Mood.
Ah well off to bed as it is another early start tommorrow.
Sam and his team are waiting for the car to hit the shop so they can start fitting it up with engine and wiring. Between Mood and Sam's it's a big effort these guys are putting in. They all working over easter to have the car finished for the Nats.
Moody has put Strange Calipers and discs on the front. Man they look awsome. He has even made a steering column for us fat people. Wait till you see how it functions. The Fabrication involved in the car is just incredible.
As you can see I am pretty happy. Just a few more sleeps

Talk about highs and lows. All the little things that pop up are killing me!
Moody and Anthony worked late last night and are in again today. Diff centre arrived yesterday, hopefully we will have the engine in tonight, wiring done tomorrow and the gearbox arrives Tuesday.
Very tight but the boys keep saying dont worry it will be there. Talk about stress factor for me yet everybody else is calm. Seems a bit like being at Sams. They send me on parts runs or food runs to get me out of there so I stop annoying them. :) The main thing is it is looking great. Must say the excitement level is building.
Here are some more photos

Pilot is the guy building it. Darren Mood. He has a 9 second Torana so he has just a little more experience than me at this stuff.
Will have some more shots tonight of the car.
