More Ponies
Wednesday, March 29th, 2006I bolted 15 to 20 horsepower on to the Scuderia Jeep today.

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.

Sounds much better. Almost like a homemade Tubi Style.
Stay tuned… The Scuderia plans to win this Mutha!!
