slantzilla OP Too Many Posts Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 20,166 Park Forest, IL	Went out this weekend and picked it up. It is now at my shop awaiting reassembly. It will never be as fast as it was when Mike raced it, but it will be a nice, safe, fun bracket car. I have a motor to put in it that should make it a low 14/high 13 second car. I have 2 904's done by Keith Long, and my buddy Patrick Teig is going to move the seat back so I fit better. Mike left everything in the car when he parked it. Air shifter, delay box, playback tach, Accusump, aluminum driveshaft, and Cheetah shifter. All the nuts and bolts are in bags and boxes in the car. I'm off work next weekend, should be able to at least get the motor and trans in. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

Mike parked it when he bought the V/SA car about 12 years ago. It sat on stands covered up in his shop since. After the 2016 season he was done and had me help him sell everything.
