The Five Year Plan

Plans.

Yes, people have plans.

Everybody does.

Truth is, it's only money.

Thus, this is my plan for STELLAR.

First, it will be the floor board. I probably will need 2 to 2.5 grand for this.

Then, the wheels. Budget, 1.5 grand.

Then, I want to rebuild the current bodykit, with sheet metal instead. This one probably will cost about the same as the floor board.

Then, the exhaust. I will need to find an RC40 unit. Single box.

Then, the engine. I want to have a hill climb profile. Three quarter race cam or something. This probably will need 10 grand.

Then, lowering him. As in, very low. A-la Coyote the McCormick car. But no going under a trailer anytime, if at all. This will need some body cutting for both front and rear arch, and structural welding for the rear arch.

Phewww.. I guess that is all for a 5 year span. Yep. It is a long process. But priorities are already set.

Or I just do the floor board only. Maybe next year. Or just a simple reshell.

In Threes

Three weeks, three gaskets and three 200 dollar bills later, STELLAR finally made it on the road again.

I don't know how he will cope after the final repairs, but I have high hopes.

I felt like making up for lost time.

Three weeks of driving will do.

But I vowed to use the public transport come next month.

I guess one week will do then. Starting tomorrow.

Starting tomorrow....
