Hera revisited

[Hoosierdady]

Looks great man. Can't wait to see Hera in person. I have a feeling my Brute will have a nice view of the taillights, lol.

Hera took the Class 3 First Place win!
Combined with Melons tie for 2nd, it was enough to make me the overall TTC winner!
We had a great weekend and Hera performed flawlessly, I can't wait for the next big challenge!

Nice job.

Are you bring Hera up to the NESC up in PA? If so I can't wait to see it - congrats on the win! "thumbsup"

The guys pointed out to me that Hera is looking a little beat up.
Much of the chassis paint has been scraped off by rocks and the panels are scratched to shit... It's just a testament to how tough she is!

I'd like to freshen her up for ECSC but I just don't feel like there's time... it's 2 weeks away.

And, Hera is running great, she'd dialed in... I just don't think I should mess with her with such a big comp coming up in such a short amount of time.

Here's a few pics of Hera's battle scars.

I think after the comp, I'll ask Rick at GripFab to sand blast her and then give her a new paint scheme.

Good call!
You need me to make you some sheet metal panels. Quick and easy repair!!!

That would be awesome for hera...

I think you should add a huge brick to the roof. Then maybe add some more weight up top just for safe measure "thumbsup". Then MAYBE, just maybe I'll have a shot at beating her in C3 . Better yet, I'll toss my winch hook on the back of Hera and you could just pull me thru the course. Try not to think about it as dead weight and more of a advantage on hill decent :mrgreen:. At least I'd have a shot at 2nd place, lol.

I still got C3 fawker!

It turned out that the points were added up wrong and the Overall Title went to BadHoopty... but Hera won C3 fair and square! "thumbsup"

yeah, I'll leave that scheme for you. "thumbsup"

I do like your idea of an orange chassis with black panels though... thinking that with some pin strips could look mean. 8)

just orange... I want orange as an accent color like on Melons and the Ford.

orange tubework (im thinking metallic orange, like a sunset orange metallic) would make that think pop like crazy. "thumbsup"
