If you're one of the "regular" readers of my blog posts, you know that I've been staying on top of the progress that our friends at Raceskinz are making on the complete and total makeover of our "Pit Boss," the (usually we put the Model Year in this area, but, I have NO idea what it is) EZ-GO golf cart that we're "building" in conjunction with the Boss 340 Mustang project.
Raceskinz [(818) 988-0577; www.raceskinz.us.com], the Van Nuys, California, car customizers, striping afficianadoes and carbon-fiber experts, is now putting final touches on our cart's rejuvenated body panels. On Friday, I spent the afternoon with the team (George, Clay, Todd, Ty and Scotty C) and got to see some really exciting things that they're doing for the Pit Boss; stuff that goes leaps and bounds beyond the carbon fiber. Check it out, after the jump...
Where carbon fiber is without question the "star" of the Pit Boss show, the absolutely sick set of CNC-machined, billet, aluminum gas and brake pedals that Raceskinz has whipped up is the best supporting cast that I could ever imagine the cart having.
Yep, Todd had "the hammer" mounted in the 3-axis CNC when I arrived at the shop, and after giving the machine its instructions, the cutter was doing its thing across the aluminum.
Carbon panels were in their final rubdown stages (clearcoat comes next), and Clay performed final trimming of the Line-X bed liner that has been applied to our pit-support vehicle's utility bed.
My next update on this Boss 340 sub-project will feature coverage of the buggy's reassembly, and application of the paint and vinyl graphics that Raceskinz has in store for the 'lil Boss' body.
As a closing note, the wheels are in motion for bringing Boss 340 into the shop. We're hopefully about two weeks away from things being ready for the Mustang to get the full Raceskinz treatment--inside and out!
