Parking my dart to go through it and do some bodywork, but recently acquired this from the old man to keep me entertained... We built it as I was growing up, so I'm glad it's staying in the family
Some small changes in the works, but I just want to go through it then drive/race the wheels off it

Under my budget constraints nothing major. Some tires & a little chassis work to make it hook. I'm probably going to hit it with a little giggle gas as well since I already have the setup. My main focus for 2014 is to just get out to some different tracks and have some fun. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

Me too. I'm tired of reaching for the stars when I don't have the budget for it. I'm scaling my plans WAY back and just want to make some passes next year. I've been spectating for 10 years and am tired of it.

Well going for more street than strip sometimes costs more money so progress will be slow.Pulling the race clutch and drivetrain out and putting a street friendly setup in .Pulling the spool and gear and installing a powerlock unit.Mount a hoodscoop I bought a few years back and paint the old girl.

Same as every year run Street Eliminator Points at my home track with the Dart and try to repeat as track champion and I hope to have my new pump gas 408 done and in before Points start. Possibly a little touch up paint work if funds allow. Run my D150 at a few Mopar meets and truck races.

It would look sweet with a hat, but the carbs are very well behaved, even just tooling around town.
Know anyone looking for a good deal on a nice Cuda'??? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)

Not really sure. We are trying to decide what to do. I will concentrate on S/ST until the spring Vegas race and try and get the Jegs Allstar spot. Once that is decided I am not really sure. But I guess since it will be free to run a few national events we will likely do that in S/C. Will freshen up the bulet after the spring Vegas race and just try and enjoy the remainder of the year. Take 2015 off and try and get the TS car ready.. Unless the USAF has other plans which may be happening again sooner than we want ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/runaway.gif)

I really want to have Big Squeeze rebuild my low gear 904 and have another converter built for it. It went a new best of 11.23@119.5 friday night and I think in the same awesome air it might go a 10.9999999 with the low gear trans and a little more converter. 11.20s is faster than I ever thought this pump gas 360 would go in my 3500lb(with driver) ride. I also am going to try very hard to do Drag Week with my Dad again. But my wife and I have our first child due any day now and I understand that will have an impact on my time and money? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)

Lighten the car and driver ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif) up a bit. Just a few changes to make it a better bracket car. Motor and trans are both failry fresh and should be ready to go another year. Obviously I'll be checking valve springs and such before it goes back out.

Try to keep the front of the car lower than the guard rails and straight! See the video in my thread and you will see what I am talking about!

Got a good start on mine today....Cross one item off the list
7-Cut out rear cross sub-frame that's badly notched for clearance and install a new tubular one----COMPLETE, just needs paint!
Whatever money & time allows (and I did not plan on buying a newer Dodge diesel, which has put a dent in the pocket book)

Drop 4 points or so compression, cam swap and drive the stupid thing on the streets again. I'm sick of seeing it collecting dust. Now if I wasn't so busy with work I could get out in the garage and start taking the motor out...

Just keep plugging away with my project, how it progresses will depend on how I go finding work for 2014. I have a couple of contracts that finish in about 3 weeks.

I hope to get at least one of my prototype cylinder heads made. Other than that, adding a vacuum pump, starter, and a new set of DA front shocks to control wheelstands a little better.

As far as actually racing goes, I might make the Dragway 42 race Jan 1, 2014. If it's dry, I'll take the wife's Volvo, as it should run close to the 20.14 index without much trouble! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif) As far as announcing goes, I still have one more Loose Rocker Promotions race this year (Fall Footbrake Frenzy V at Piedmont in NC Thanksgiving Weekend). Next year I'll do 3-4 races for Loose Rocker and 3-5 (or more ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/luck.gif) ) for Summit Motorsports Park. I plan on attending the World Footbrake Challenge in July at Bristol as a spectator, maybe with a bit of mic time, and I have a couple of other possibilities out there that I'm waiting on. Amazingly enough, I'm not bothered that I did not make a single pass down the track this year. I used to get really antsey wanting to race when I announced, but the past few years I've realised that this keeps me involved, people pay me to do something I like, and I don't get bored waiting hours between runs. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif)

took 2013 off do to health problems. had surgery on my left arm in January. In July we bought a house, then I got hurt a work in August and had to have surgery on my right elbow. I still need to put the heads back on and put the car back together. changing the rear wheels to beadlocks and new slicks and hook up the 2nd stage of nitrous. If I can keep from getting hurt anymore we should be ready to go by March.

My only plans are.... 1. To get the Rocky in the tens...looks Like I have to take some gear out of it and get more fuel to the motor to do it. 2 To finish porting the 337 manifold and try it out on the 517 against the Max ported Indy Dual Plane. 3. To build the 440" small block W2 Tunnel Ram motor...even though I don't have anything to drop it in at the moment ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif)

For the 2013 Championship winning Duster, we have a small list of upgrades in progress:
1-Wilwoods on all four corners got the fronts almost ready to put on the car, waiting on two bolts from Wilwood, and the rears are mounted, and the brake lines showed up today... 2-Relocate the master cylinder to the chassis 3-New slicks 4-Finish the tin work for the interior 5-Finish painting the floor and cage (in progress, along with a new seat) 6-Bigger fire extinguisher 7-Cut out rear cross sub-frame that's badly notched for clearance and install a new tubular one (Complete) 8-Fix oil leak 9-Tubular upper A-arms (almost ordered a set today) 10-SV1 carburator (got a quote for one, but found a used one for a good price, & sending the payment ASAP!) 11-re-scale the car
12-Put a real fuel pump in the car Probably a MagnaFuel 275....(Just added that one) Whatever money & time allows

To get out at least a few times, and to get out early in the year for a Test & Tune day, so I can actually spend some time finding some ET. We'll see if my daughters Fastpitch schedule allows for this, though. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

Get this out of the trailer more than twice and actually run it down a track again. Of course, that means new rear tires, probably an anti-roll bar, and I'll want to do the tighter converter it needs. Oh, and have to get the belts re-cert'ed. With a right converter, it'll need a window net, chassis cert (and that will require finally adding the diagonal down bars behind the seats). Maybe I'll just leave it in the trailer for another year. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

Car is at the chassis shop getting lowered 2 inch. To do this they built a custom sump, narrowed the rear and inboarded the leaf springs. Whilst it was there it also had a rear anti roll bar fitted, 'chute mount, chrome moly prop, D/A rear shocks and Wilwoods fitted to the Dana. Should have it back next week after being baselined with the 580 motor. All we have to do after that is beef the 'box up some more and the 655 can go in ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) Then we have the 68 Barracuda to do, 'box is done and the motor for this starts very soon, just a warmed over 318 with mildly worked '308 heads. Should be a fun daily driver. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
