As the 2011 season approaches, there are a few decisions we have to make with regards to repairing the Corrado after “the hood incident” I had at NJMP’s Thunderbolt circuit with PCA this past November. And although there’s no definitive plan just yet, we did kick things off this past weekend by removing the damaged hood, hood hinges and windshield. The hood and hinges were removed easy enough, but we had our apprehensions when it came to the windshield since we had a horrible time removing the previous one. We had such a tough time removing the last one that we ended up calling a pro to come out and do it for us… and even they struggled with it for a couple hours and used every tool they had in their bag! Anyway, I’m happy to report that we managed to get this one out in one piece and with no injuries to either of us. So now we move on to scrounging up some cash and sourcing new parts before our first events in April-May.

Stay Tuned!

p.s. Incase you missed “the hood incident”, here’s another look.
