33' Hot Rod For Puerto Rico

[Racer 28]

Just finishing mock up on a 33' that is heading to PR... Check it out, RRE 350hp/302 with a T-5, March Style Track Pulley System, Performance Automotive Customs Floating Firewall. Stay tuned for more updates..

Cool !!!! What's the plate near the engine mount welded to the frame for ?

Sure could use some fancy firewall pin receiver nuts and a steering shaft bearing cover .... LOL !!!!!

[Racer 28]

Those are actually plates for mounting the Electric Steering control box so you can't see it and the other side is for the A/C Drier. The plates can be taken off with 1/4 turn fasteners. Agreed on the items you mentioned I will be calling you for them...

[Tim Whittaker]

I see...... Good idea. Between the firewall you guys do and hiding all the wires, makes for a clean presentation ....... cool stuff !!!

[Racer 28]

Sorry for the delayed update, this one was blown apart last week for powder coat pictures when it returns.

[Racer 28]

Chassis is back from powder coat time for final assembly!

[Racer 28]

Finally going together, despite being 2 men short this week.

[Racer 28]

This 33' is coming together nicely, waiting on a few back ordered parts (not FFR parts) but should be fired in the next couple weeks. I will post a video, of it running.

that's a good idea to put hat sheet metal part under the fuel tank ....

[Racer 28]

Yes as long as you use some Rubber or Kevlar to insulate the tank from the panel!!

[Tim Whittaker]

I use felt and it works well as long as the tank doesn't spring a leak .... has a little more cushion to it.

Are the wheels from FFR? What do you think?
The front wheels look great rears don't seem to come out far enough.

[Racer 28]

I Agree.... but we didn't have the rear rotors on it in those pictures. So add another 1/4" or so plus the rear fenders taper big time at the bottom... You really can only move it out another 1/4" or so.

What is the powder coat color of the firewall? Any issues with powder coating the front suspension parts with regard to the ball joints?
Thanks.

[Racer 28]

The fire wall is painted platinum silver met. and with the ball joints clean as much grease as you can out, and the powder coater can tape them up before they powder them.

[dagall]

Cool, Thanks.

The 33' body for Puerto Rico, is painted. It's has been a long road with many changes mid-stream but I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Enjoy the pictures...

Very nice! I like the silver dash.

Can't wait to see it all assembled.

[Racer 28]

Thanks, For the kind words. Here are a couple out in the sun, we're beginning to wet sand and polish. Also a sneek peek at the interior combo... Enjoy
