For those of you unfamiliar with Formula Vee racing, it is an open wheeled formula car based on the type 1 bug. It is the longest running SCCA National class, celebrating it's 45th year of national racing last year.

As some of you know, I have started restoring a Caldwell D13 Formula Vee that has been sitting for the last 22 years.

I will be documenting the frame up rebuild on my website. To follow along, go to: http://www.tcrmotorsports.com and click on "About The Car"

There is a paragraph about the Tsunami MKIII that I currently race, (and is for sale) but at the top of the page will be my 'blog' of sorts with details on the progress with pictures, etc. I hope to update it often. I have posted the first pics and blurb today. Check it out.

For any newbies out there, this is also a good opportunity to see what is involved with a frame up rebuild of a race car. Please feel free to reach out to me via email, or PM if you are under going a frame up for the first time. I can share with you my project sheet that I use to budget and plan for the event.

If you would like to contribute to the website in a small way (free for you) simply click on the Google advertising banner on my page and that will help me out in a small way.

Thanks, hope you enjoy.
Stephen

This week I will be installing the wheel cylinders, battery, rain light and the exhaust system, which will make the car driveable. Last items will be cosmetic and this car will be practically brand new.

Also of note, this car started 6th in the 1981 National Championship Runoffs and finished 8th. Very cool!
