Lone Star rises above the competitors in sheetmetal fabricating



Lonestar Industries' shipper Matt Krieger delivered to Kevin and I the water/ballast tank and the seat pieces (seat shown) which are all ready for final fit and weld together. Thanks to Rob Krieger for the nice job of fabricating them. Rob is the owner of Lonestar and because the staff were all occupied with paying work, he personally did the fabricating. Rob is no stranger to building racy things and many of you know him for his custom motorcycle builds long before the TV's OCC were in business. Mr Krieger also has a passion for his new toys, a Moto Guzzi (Breva V 1100) and the 007 James Bond car, a BMW Z-8.

Rob says, "You only live once!"

Now once the overdrive and differential are complete and installed we will be able to add the fuel and oil tanks. Then we can fasten in and button up all the ready pieces that Werner has stored at his place. Install the race engine and turbo and race transmission. Then head off to the resting program on an airstrip and chassis dyno. It will be exciting time when that happens.
