Whoo hoo another Zukiworld Challenge car being built. We picked up this sweet 96 tracker a while back with the intention of parting it out. After a little coaxing by Eric we are now building a racer out of it.

As you can see it is a 2wd car but we are planning on adding a t-case to it to get the gearing we want. We ordered some spacers to lift it up enough to clear 235's and are planning something for the shocks/struts.

It has a very smooth running 80,000 mile 16v and a 5spd.It goes in for the cage next week and then we will really get ripping on it.

After a few hours work she is ready to get her cage put in.

Look how clean this rig is... Wow!

I can't wait to dust ya!

Post some pictures of your cage build.  We are looking for ideas for Project Trouble.

Here, I found you some roll-cage ideas.

It goes in either this weekend or Monday to the cage shop, yes we are having one built. MY partner is a killer salesman and got us a lot of sponsors. I will be taking pictures for sure.

Thought I would mention Kreation Fabrication in Salem is doing the cage. I have known Bob for many years. They build sand car chassis and he does beautifull work. Number there for any one who wants it 503-689-2206. I dropped the car off today and Bigzook will get some pics soon. -KB-

Little bit of a update. Nothing finished yet but should be in a couple days.

Got a little work done on the dash tonight.

Are you going to put the battery cut-off switch on the passenger side sheet of aluminum?

The switch is supposed to be accessible from the outside from what I read.

That's cool... wanna make two more sets?

Yea, that is why I was going to put it over where they can just reach through the window.  Unless your putting your battery in the  back of the rig anyway, then you could just put it next to the battery box.

I got the car home today after spending several hours at the fab shop finishing up the cage, making seat mounts, and mounting tabs for the drivers belts. We ran out of tabs so the co-driver belts will be mounted after the test day next weekend. Also we will finish the window nets, and fab a strut tower brace then. I have 1 week of nights to install Shocks, Struts, Springs,Spring spacers, Rear Spool, Mount the seats, Dashboard, wire up all switches, get the tires mounted to the wheels, Exhaust, Mount spare tire and jack, install tool box, Tune up with belts,and Change all fluids. I for see a ton of late nights ahead this week.

I got the electric fan and power steering cooler mounted tonight. Tomorrow I am painting the cage and installing the dash at least. I am trying to get the spool in also. I will get some more pictures in the daylight tomorrow.

Hey what did you make your little dash plates out of? They look really nice. Are they aluminum?  You made an extra set for our car too right?
