1

Kirkey Road Racing seat. Made from aluminum.

2

My son sitting in the seat pretending to drive.

3

Davis, Craig water pump. 110 liter per minute. This should cool this engine quite well.

4

It is a little guy. Very light as well.

5

Kirkey seat mount cage. This welds up to the cage so I can mount the seat to it.

6

Modified my pipe bender to bend the tube. It works really well not.

7

Welded up some water pipes. They will work. But I will redo this later. My first attempt at welding thin wall aluminum. It looked easier on the TV.

8

Bent roll cage bars. These will be the NASCAR bars for the drivers door.

9

Looks like that when laid out.

10

Engine side.

11

All the pistons laid out. Cleaned and matched with the rods and pins. They all weigh exactly 1200 grams. on the dot!

12

The engine is all cleaned and ready to assemble.

13

How I bent the brackets for the cooling pipes.

14

Here is the exhaust. Still debating on how many pipes to use, two looks cool, but one is lighter and faster.

15

Completed rear mount.

16

I welded in these steel reinforcements to keep the bolts from compressing the sub-frame.

17

Cooling pipe test fitted.

18

Me. But I know you are looking at my calendar from 1992. Oh such a good calendar.

19

My attempt at removing the windshield. I bought the kit the pros use. I am not a pro. Need to buy a new window now.

20

Ground out all the rust and applied primer around the window frame. This will make it much easier to build the dash and finish welding the cage.

21

There was a ton of surface rust up here. That was the cause of my leak oh so many years ago. But the good thing is that it only leaked when it rained or I washed the window.

22

A-piller. I am thinking of welding this to the roll cage. It would make the car stronger. BMW race cars do this. It must be good :)
