Rhodes racing builder kit
Cool, I made the mistake of getting a art Morrison during COVID and paid the price
So much to update, so little time…. lol
Got the engine back and in the car, decided to change the color from F4 green to billet silver so everything had to come out of the engine bay yet again. Painted and all back together, then the engine went in along with the transmission and driveline.

Of course with the color change, the interior had to all come back out and swapped for something that would go with the silver…. Good time to go full race car. lol

Have you had that hood? I don't remember that.
Yes, I’ve had it for a while. Don’t remember if I had posted it or not…. lol
Just got the sheet with all the clearances from the builder.... The piston to valve clearance is .115+

Is it a solid roller camshaft setup? I read through this again but did not see that, unless I missed it.
Yes, it is.

Nice job!
Got the seat and shifter mounted, now to mount the ignition box and coil, then start on the final piece…. Wiring.
Did you take any pictures step by step of the seat going in, what is the wide piece of aluminum directly under the seat?
It’s a plate that ties in all 4 legs that are bolted to the floor (existing bucket seat holes) and extends to the tunnel on the right side. I plan on mounting a cup holder and small 4 circuit switch panel on the right side of the seat
Got bored and decided to prep and paint the one body panel that doesn't need body work.... lol
The color is Matte Billet Silver

Bill, you don't slow anything. That looks great !!!
Awesome in matte.
I better get my car done soon I'd like to hit some tracks with you next season
I better put a cup holder in my race car, I'm going to need the cold water at renegade
I was stuck in the lanes during a long cleanup last year without water. I hope that never happens again.
I carry a water bottle and a washcloth to wipe my face in a little tool pouch strapped to my pass seat for that very reason!! One of those small cheap canvas tool pouches. FWIW...
When I raced off road, my helmet had comms, air and water supply. I’m thinking a water bottle in the cup holder next to the seat with a long straw will be enough for drag racing. lol
Did you make those seat brackets? They look nice!
Thanks! I made the bottom legs and shelf. The angle brackets that bolt to the sides of the seats are made by Kirkey.

Hopefully a 9 second street car.
Registered, tagged and insured for the street but will probably never be driven on the street. lol
