We've made pretty great progress this week. Motors in, Trans is in, Motor Plate welded.
Not only that but when things go to DVW... they are done in only a way that DVW does stuff. Polished all of the chrome on the car, re-painted the roll cage to perfection, and maybe a little OCD... but he scraped and scrubbed the undercoating off the bottom of the car!

Yikes, covid prices really hit those sensors. I think mine were less than $30. I have 4 total, 3 on the car and a spare. I really like the park pawl sensor idea. I wish I would have done that instead of figuring out how to get a sensor on my D60.

Sure is looking nice.
With each post, the level of detail goes up another notch.
I did not notice the little vent tubes poking through the stub stack at first. Then my second or third time checking out the picture "Hey what's going on there".

For me I would use them as handles to remove them to install 4150's IDK. Doug is really going to town on this and it'll be ready soon as a result. I've seen the car a million times but the first time i saw it in Doug's shop, it's looking noticeably better from the detailing he's been doing.

I guess I will never get some of the NSS rules..Things like the certain carb or type, a data logger, are not allowed. But you can have an air or electric shifter and log 02's and rpm and but god forbid you log oil pressure or pan vacuum I am sure the car will look great If it is anything like your pops car it will be great. Hope to see it on the NMCA trail this year. We start out year in St Louis

Told him running another class, gave him an unfair advantage...

I have talked to the "powers that be" about some of the NSS rules "contradictions" before. I get the distinct feeling they done want to change because the racers like it as is. Meaning stuck in the 60/70's for the most part. I agree 100% as long as the car looks correct, fits whatever year parameters they have it should be allowed to run. I also agree at NMCA anyway it is a big class, probably 80% Mopars, which leads me to conclude why they are resistant to change any rules. We all know how afraid most " Mopar" guys are of technology. In the end it is an INDEX class. In the end IMO as long as the car can run the index WITHOUT a throttle stop and looks the part to the fans why not allow more cars. Heck I cann ot even run my 64 with the NSS group out west because I'm "too fast" for their group.
Just an FYI. I will likely never be able to run NMCA NSS anyway as I am usually busy with the heads up car anyway. We spend alot of time working on it, to much to run another car. I'll now step down from my soap box.
