About the Bailout Bandits

My photo
In 2008 (about three months ago), a crack engineering/racing unit was sent to prison for stealing bailout money from the financial institutions and CEO's. These men promptly escaped from a federal penitentiary and headed to the Washington D.C. underground. Today, still wanted by the feds, they survive as modern day Robin Hoods (without the tights, of course). If you work for the Big 3, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The Bailout Bandits.

The roll cage tubing is in!!!

Two weeks ago, Brewski and Wheelman spent a couple hours measuring for the roll cage, and placed the order quickly upon acceptance to the race. To our pleasant surprise, the roll cage was ready to be picked up this weekend (Wheelman drove down to Richmond, VA to get it last Friday)!!! Yesterday, Trump, Wheelman, and Brewski spent the day prepping the car for the roll cage (scrapping the floorboards, removing dash, etc.) and did a little trimming/prep of the roll cage tubes. There is still plenty to do, but we got a pretty good start.

Chopping springs!!!

After stripping over 300 pounds out of the car, Wheelman and Trump spent some time chopping springs in order to lower ride height and improve handling. Post op, the car now sits about where it did before all the weight loss.
