We got a car, what’s next?

After picking up the car in Feb 2023 and getting it into the garage, it was time to figure out all the things we didn't know about Sprint Cars and try to identify how big of a journey it'd be to get on the track. Had a work trip back to MN where we sold our Quarter Midget setup and worked on refurbishing our spare front Wing in Grandpa's Shop. We quickly realized how rivet intensive these vehicles were and ran out to Harbor Freight and purchased a pneumatic Riveter...oooo that thing is sweet! So the problem with the loose sideboard was actually the wing-to-sideboard adapter plate which we created a template for and built a new one. Nice little project and results were satisfyingly solid.
