    Bald Eagle Racing New Body Work

    A Couple of years ago when I built my prerunner I spent most of tmy time and money making sure that the car ran, handled and functioned right. One of the last things I did was the body work. At the time money was short as we were preparing to prerun the '05 Baja 100 and the expenses for the race. So that we could get the car going a frined and I did the body panels with minimal sheet metal tools. The panels never looked great but the car handles like million bucks and is very reliable. I finally got a break between races and play weekends and found the right guy to do new body work for the car. So a week ago the car went to MME Fabrication in Orange and it was returned a week later complete. Marty hooked me up with a new hood, new side panels, new front closeoff panels and a new dash. I have attached some before and after pictures. The panels are still raw as I just picked up the car today. Now I need to rewire the dash and get the whole car ready for paint. Yeah the chassis never got any paint since it was built. Here they are:

    Why do you think the name of our race team is "Bald" Eagle Racing? Lucas will you be coming down to the Lucerne race? We are running our 10 car

    Car turned out great, Marty rules and did an amazing job on my dash. The blazer actually goes back to him today to get the motor panels made.

    Marty actually said that when I picked up the car. Believe it or not my Dad actually met Marty riding his bike through the tract they live in saw him doing his magic out of his garage. Turns out they had a lot of common friends from when my Dad raced. After seeing your dash work all I needed to do was save the money because I knew he was the guy. I wonder why more racers don't go to him?

    Thanks again everyone for the compliments
