Unit 11 enters the O’Reilly Outlaw Nationals
Sunday, February 11th, 2007After attending the Friday night monster truck races with Driver 2.19 and Hillbilly, Will decided to enter Unit 11 in Saturday night’s Tough Truck Competition.

It began with a mid-day master cylinder swap and some fresh paint.
We loaded it on the trailer by 3:30pm and were on our way to the Travis County Expo Center to make the 4:00pm entry deadline.
Unit 11 was the only entry from Austin making Will an overwhelming crowd favorite.

Racing Stripe
Monday, March 27th, 2006
A racing strip was a much needed addition to the Scuderia Jeep.
There’s no turning back now…
Saturday, March 25th, 2006I performed some necessary body modifications on the Jeep this morning.
Removal of fender skirts compete.
Front Bumper Caps removed. I also removed the washer bottle mounted in the front bumper.
Front tire profile shot after skirt removal.
Rear fender after skirt removal.
Rear bumper cap removal. Ready for Sawzall.
The first cut.
Front driver’s side complete. Ready for grinding.
Front passenger side complete. Grinding the edges prevents trips to the hospital.
No clearance issues now.
UPDATE Scuderia Jeep… for real.
Sunday, March 19th, 2006Stage two of Scuderia Jeep preparation.
I improved air flow by cutting large holes in stock airbox. This will soon be replaced with a custom K&N-Style Fuel Injection Performance Kit.
Some would say to leave a heat barrier between the intake and the engine. I say “More Airflow!”
I’m reducing weight by removing any excess material I can find.
Inside of driver’s side door before reinforcement.
The Jeep’s rear door without the rear window washer motor. Taking it out proved a significant weight reduction. Ultimately the door will be removed.
I bolted a steel bracket to the floor to reinforce the fire extinguisher mount.
The new grill and taped headlights.
Sparkle Colored Race Logo.
Look, no tail pipe!
The old muffler and tail pipe.

Stay tuned… The Scuderia plans to win this Mutha!!
