Now we can make new body parts if things go wrong...

By the way, the ligher marks in the first picture is just dust from trimming the edges.

Had both cars on track at the beginning of the month. I took the Seven out and my Mother took the Vee and both came back in one piece and that is what matters. Even managed to get some silverware. Both cars still need some work and both drivers need more seat time but I guess that is just racing in general.

And the Vee has its Historic Tour Passport! and a clean bill of health from both sets of scrutineers that looked at it....

Yip, and it was her first race ever, the first time she had ever driven the vee on track and only the second time she has been around zwartkops(first time was in my car like two years ago). Was very stressful!
