Depends on the date of the Norra 1000 my daughter graduates from college around the same time, sooooo if not then the Norra 500

 

[john Mcc]

Ok so not racing NORRA 1000 due to my daughter's graduation is the same week, so the goal is the NORRA 500.
so got the frame out and sending it to be media blasted and painted with Steel-It.

 

[john Mcc]

Had to remove the old seat mounts, they made the new seats to high.

 

[john Mcc]

Ended up blasting it myself, HF blaster $100.00 4 bags of sand $40.00 total $140.00 and 4 hrs of my time. out sourcing was $400.00 and up
