If you are standing still you can hear the clock ticking for the countdown to have a car ready for the Chihuahua Express. Unfortunately, it's looking like things aren't going to progress fast enough to be prepared for that race. The up side is, the roll cage is finished along with the dash and mounting the fuel cell, which means the car is now off to the body and paint shop. Once that's done, the stack of parts can be assembled and things will start to advance more rapidly.
The seats are here along with most of the safety gear and communications. There was a problem with the coil-over suspension, it came for a completely different type car, but that's been remedied. All the brake parts are sitting in boxes, waiting. The transmission and differential are all set to be put in, but the motor is another story. The head has been sent out to the experts to be worked on and it's ready. But the pistons are another week away, and that means the block can't be worked on until they're here. No pistons= no block= no motor. The math is unfriendly, but there's thirty days until the convoy leaves El Paso, let's see what happens.
