Have you ever wanted to see a former NASCAR race car be built for ACTUAL racing with professional guidance and not just someone doing it clickbait shenanigans? This is the place for you! I am building this car to go short track racing in Grand National Super Series! This car is a 2004 Ronnie Hopkins chassis used by Joe Gibbs Racing from 04-07. It was driven by Bobby Labonte, Aric Almirola, Joey Logano (who won Busch East title in 07 with it), and Jeff Anton.
In this video tackle the dry sump oil lines and other plumbing needed on the car. I also change the connectors on the Dodge R5P7 distributor to connect to the existing MSD ignition system in preparation for the very first startup of the engine in this car! (spoiler alert: IT RUNS!)
BUILD SERIES PART 3 COMING SOON!
