Where is Joe Black?

[ZEUS]

Nah, never met or seen him... I thought about it and I was more comfortable saying "little guy" instead of "big hunk of burning man flesh"... LOL! I would like to hear what he has been working on and how that fiberglass front clip on his rally VX is coming along though!!

[johnnyapollo]

I hooked up when him when he was last in town (couple of weeks ago) - the Rally VX is up in Norcross at John Schellenberg's place - it's pretty much stripped down - they were pulling out everything behind the dash while I was there. We also tested out the second prototype for the window fix - it's going into a third version so it's still not ready for primetime.

John,

Thanks for the update on the window fix. I need to fix both of mine, but had been waiting to see what Joe developed.

I had planned to pull the door panels over the holidays and get an idea of what I was up against; however, the wife wrecked the 3rd vehicle (no one hurt) a few weeks ago and I did not want to have the VX in an undrivable condition.

So, I am anxiously awaiting Joe's fix information.

Has anyone heard how that front clip is coming along,
I'm kinda interested in it....

Joe Black, where are you?!?

Thanks for the update, John. I've been bugging Joe about this for some time now, but I know he's a busy guy. I really need to get my windows fixed, as my driver's side is starting to go out, which will NOT be "cool" come summer time. PLEASE, let me know if there is anything I can do to help. My VX sits about 80% of the time so I can tear my doors down and get in there and test stuff out if you need some assistance. Time is the hardest thing to come by, but I'll make time for my VX and the community.

And Joe, please come back soon! We need to put our heads together about the VX Diesel Conversion project!!

Well- the front clip he's producing will be one-piece for racing - I think all the lights and cladding will be molded in fiberglass or CF - it really wouldn't be workable as a replacement for a street-running front clip. The VX he's using for the project was damaged in the front - the fenders may be usable but the grill, front bumper cover and probably the hood were all hosed.

I wouldn't mind the front raw with no cut outs,
I would mod it anyway, I have a set of porsche headlights needing a home.
It is amazing what can be done with fiberglass.
