OK sounds good

When will we see it?

The end of this season first of next. Depends on how funding goes.

Ed - here's a pic of the engine in my '64 - its an original '63 max wedge block and the only difference now is that I've got a trunk mounted battery with vent tubes

Joe

That looks great!I will use it as a reference. Can you post a picture of the battery when you have time? I need to see what it should look like.

Thanks Ed

Ed - my cars tucked away so I'm not sure when I could take a picture of what mine looks like but here's what I used as an example. The pics are from an original '64 maxie and will give you a good idea how it looked at least for '64. The positive cable runs behind the spare and then along the floor on the drivers side. I got a sealed battery that looks just like this with the fake caps and vent tubes

Ed here's another picture of the battery. I have friend who restores A990 cars and has reproduction cable hold downs for the positive cable behind the spare if you want - hope these help

By the way Ed I got the hold down, tray, vent caps and cables from Karmer's a bit pricey but it is really good stuff the vent tubes are just regular black tubing from the local hardware store and cut to fit. We made the hold down brackets (both are the same) then just welded them down

What is the transmission of choice in F.A.S.T.? I would think a stick would be easier to launch on stock tires.

Most are automatic .

With a max wedge you can't have any more fun then running a with push button automatic transmission!!

Ed - here's a picture of the maxie at last years Woodward Dream Cruise. You gotta look real close(actually you'll need a magnifying glass) but you can just barely see the vent tubes -sorry but it the best I have right now

Wow, that car is beautiful!

Thanks it really is a fun piece to drive. Here's a better pic from Woodward but I have to admit these pictures really don’t do the car justice it's a bit nicer in person (at least in my opinion ha ha) - Thanks again
