Well, since you asked. 1) Machine shop isn't done with my short block yet. 2) Lenco has been working on my ST-1200 since before Thanksgiving so that particular car project is stalled. 3) We are looking forward to a week of 50's (high temp) and rain so more on the way for you. Here is a picture of our convertible that we cleaned up and were cruising around in yesterday.

Not....Bit off more than I could chew, add hernia surgery to that, and I may not make it....at least with none of my junk. I need a hood, coil overs, push rods, convertor, dyno time. The hood is my biggest problem at the moment. Off on short term disability and I have not seen a single dime yet.
Going to have to run my engine builders 69 Hemi Barracuda instead....I like the wheelies it does, so that's a plus....

I decided to raise my Rampage up 1.25".. it was too low for the trashed Mi roads... I had to cut the upper strut mounts off and weld on some new brackets so the strut pistons are in the right location.. sure did like it setting low... I'll finish up tomorrow

I sometimes wish that Florida had a longer "off-season"! 1) New engine for the Dart Sport on engine stand for several months. 2) Been wanting to check my ring & pinion for the last year. 3) Car needs new SS springs, but still working ok. 4) Needs front end alignment checked. 5) 2004 Dodge diesel dually w/135,000 miles still has original antifreeze, belt and hoses and I'd like to get the valves checked. 6) Been slowly working on an NHRA Stock Aspen wagon, but engine not ready and needs work to fit new fuel cell and weight box. Then testing for the first time with a TQ! I went to Gainesville during the first weekend of Jan. and only won a couple of rounds. IHRA divisional double header in Immokalee, FL in early Feb. Only won a few rounds but tied for 4th with 2 others in Div. 2 Stock. Big footbrake race in Virginia couple of weeks ago, but only won a few rounds. Super Chevy @ Palm Beach, FL. Southern Stock/Super Stock Association was invited to race there. Went a few rounds Sat. & won on Sunday. Too much "stuff" going on in everyday life to do everything I need to even when I have a few weeks between races.

Both the Jrs are just about ready. Didn't really need to do much to em this winter.
However, for the first time since 2011 it looks like I will be able to get my charger back out. Have a trip to Summit Racing planned for Thurs evening to get the rest of what we need to get everything ready and with any luck I can 3 of the 4 cars out for the spring warm up on the 18th.

Those big dumb wheelies are overrated! Sure they are fun, but expensive as well.
New Ron's fuel pump should be here in the next couple of days, drain antifreeze and fill with distilled water, nut and bolt everything underneath, tag truck and trailer, and finish Raceral's tranny for his Satellite when the rest of the parts come in. Getting the bug bad now that its warming up. Beep
