Carbon fiber panel, rivets and some sort of sealant would be lighter/easier.

Something like a strong 3M 5200 adhesive. Can hold up to 700 psi tensile strength. Its meant for marine applications so weather wont affect it.

Re: New photos of the Rabbit (rabbjett)

Not an ABA 9A bottom end with dished pistons to lower the compression down to 13.5:1. I raced last week in the 1/8th mile it ran a 9.28 which is about a 14.2 in the 1/4. I ran it on the tires you see 195/45/14. I spins a lot even in third.

Yeah the screens just give better performance but keep large rocks out.

Nice work. Now get that beef-and-beer rolling so you can get some loot for Waterfest. I mean your bum kidney.

I am going to go regardless but I doubt my rabbit will make the trip.

Dang. I guess I'll have to go to Manasas to get a ride.
