Project BattleBee - Wounded Warrior Build

[EODSS]

I've been looking into the wheel set up I want to get and realized I'll need to go with a smaller rear brake setup to get them to fit. So far I have only found a 15" brake conversion kit from BMR. Does anyone know of another option out there.

So after a lot of BS and bad work done I finally have Bee back. Ive had a lot of issues with the new rear diff leaking and after having it fixed, then refixed and then finally re-refixed by a different place i hope that the leak is finally done. It killed a chunk of my funds so new mods might take a bit to get to. I still need to get the new wheels and tires but i am leaning towards just finishing the mods i want done to the motor (they will be the last ones until i can afford to get work done to the bottom end of the motor or a whole new set up). Im thinking of bigger injectors and the flex fuel conversion and the motor should be good for awhile. Hopefully this can be done in the near future.

So as soon as I got Bee back from getting the leak fixed I started having fuel pressure problems. I brought it back in and it looks like it might be an issue with the Boost-a-pump. Hopefully we can get this issues resolved quite. Gotta love race cars LOL.

After another few weeks back in the shop, Bee is home again. This time the fuel control module went out and the rear had another leak issue. Really hoping I can get some time before something else goes wrong lol. Im just happy to be back behind the wheel of Bee and enjoying the power again. Hopefully the next time its in the shop it will be for some upgrades.

The first thing I need next is wheels and tires. I'm liking the Weld V Series wheels and not sure what tires yet. I was able to get Bee to the track but with the amount of power I'm putting down right now and with the stock tires I couldn't catch traction at all. Plus I think my hand controls need adjusting. I know I'm not able to get full brake use with them so I might not be getting full throttle either.

Thanks brother for your sacrifices. I could never thank you enough...not in this lifetime. You have a awesome attitude man and there is no doubt that bee makes you smile every day. It's a very uplifting story that at the end of the day you have a great support system with your wife by your side. Beautiful car hands down. My 2 favorite colors are black and yellow. Hence why my Camaro is black with the yellow "SS" and yellow caliper covers. I am very pro military and have been for many years. I contribute to "Wounded Warriors Project" every month.

That's the least I can do that just maybe I am able to help real heroes like yourself gives me a sense of satisfaction. You are a inspiration to us all and please never forget that.
