I am just buried and took on a little too much....

Still finishing the suspension install

Still finishing the brakes

Still finishing the radiator mod to move it forward

Still finishing the lettering.

Still installing the seat

Didn't even get to installing the volt meter and ditching the amp meter

Didn't even get to wiring in the new line lock button on the shifter

Haven't started the annual trailer maintenance

And still haven't fixed the brake controller

Season opened last week..........


HOLY COW MAN!

I'm doing about the same! Finishing my brothers New engine now, my wife's car needs header teathers and a few small things to get it out. My engine is disassembled. Tow vehicle has been parked since November and needs gone over. Trailer needs gone over. And customer projects are in the way first.

I'm hoping to get my brothers to him in time to have his ready for the 18th. And I want my wifes car there too. Maybe Ill get mine together for fall.

Trailers done new roof bows and ceiling panels installed, roof resealed(crushed from snow). I'll be starting this week. Pull the pan to check the bearings. Pull the trans to install aluminum drum and freshen.
I'll be testing on the 10th.

I was out for my 2nd time this year last night. Went out in the third round with a red light. Did run it out to a 5.99 after I went red. So it's running pretty good. I added 25# to the nose to help keep the front end down and that seems to help. So ill be back out Friday running bracket two again.

As you can see by my brothers post I don't have the motor in mine.... When it's back I need to finish the motor plate, figure out how I'm mounting the alternator, install the tach and do an alignment on it. I have the truck and trailer ready to go. I told my wifey if my car isn't ready for May 18th race at Martin I'd have to race her 2010 Challenger!! She didn't seem to like that idea....

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I have gotten quite a bit done, but still a lot to go...

not to mention this is a new car that I have never made a pass in

- alignment
- wideband install
- fuel pressure gauge wiring (with datalog)
- shift light wiring
- nitrous solenoid wiring
- progressive controller/MSD retard/nitrous control switches/relays, plus finding a place to mount everything


Then once I am ready, I need to shake it down in street trim and figure out what the new tires/shocks like...then I'll try to go fast


Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

71 Swinger - slowly collecting dust/parts
66 Belv. II - just a streetcar
88 Mustang - turbo LS beater

Need to build new motor, get new shocks, ignition and timing controller, alternator, and most important the funds to make it all fall in place
