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.

Did you get that in Nebraska? Sweet little ride. Yes. 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.

Before Mike retired I was selling off all my Slant stuff and collecting parts to put a small block in the Daytona. When my wallet gets healthy again I will resume that path.
