With the year almost gone what your plans for 2015? My beater is winterized and sitting in the garage. It won't need much to go. I hope to keep getting stronger so the docs will clear me to drive again. It sure has been a rough and bumpy road indeed!! Ya gotta take the good days and the bad. So let's hear what your plans are. Gonna step it up? Good luck everyone and have a great Holiday season! Ted

I take it day to day here...63 Dodge has been sitting for over 2 years since I last ground on it...the 69 Z/28 Camaro has been at a standstill for a year since taking it apart...last year I had 3 surgeries that sucked totally..

this year my wife's Mom was diagnosed at stage IV cancer throughout her entire body...Becky is down in Florida taking care of her and her Dad....rough go..

and the hits keep coming

Hopefully the B1 headed, Alum. Indy block, 588c.i. engine will make it into the LeBaron in 2015. Another 200 HP under the hood will make it fun. The callies ultra I beam rods are on the brown truck for delivery today. Last major piece to the puzzle.

New rods for the motor, fix damage from wheelie. Take weight out of car, move existing weight forward in car. Rewire car it's just getting bad from adding on this and that through out the years. Hope to be out early summer.

Going to freshen up the 408 that was in the Duster for the last three years and update it some with a roller cam and some better flowing Edelbrock heads. Also building a high compression 408 roller cam engine that MAY have a set of the new Edelbrock Victor heads if they are ever released. I am also going to rebuild my 572 for some small tire racing in the new car if everything plays out as planned. Starting on the heads this week.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Well that's easy. We are moving to DC

One day this Air Force odyssey will end and we can live a more "normal" lifestyle. But for the next three years I will be splitting time between Vegas and DC and slowing getting the Stratus done if money allows.

Going to try to test early in March or late in February at LVMS, I have some tuning to do and may even need a new converter. Then MATS, then divisional in April, then Spring Fling and back home to Salt Lake. Woodburn, OR. will be in the plans for their divisional, Mopar race, and big $$$ bracket race in July, then to the bracketeer in Boise, then home. I'm knocking on wood that the 604 Predator goes all season. I had it out in Salt Lake at the end of the year and it shows promise for what it is, and a new camshaft should be in the works for late next year and even possibly a dry sump. Boatracer 572 is putting another one together for me, (572 version Predator) as we speak. It will be a milder version and in my old World aluminum block my 572 B1/MC was in.

My plan was to take 2014 off of racing to work on the Road Runner as much as possible. I did that. Now I might just stay the course and continue that for 2015, and hopefully have the Road Runner in paint by summers end.

Also IF everything goes right I will be attending drag week as a passenger with HEMI Joel in his '31 Dodge Hot Rod.

I'm still trying to get to last winter's plan. Too much stuff and not enough room, time, $ to do anything lol. Tried to sell some stuff but no takers, so at some point I'll be getting a R5 I have together, but not set on what to do with it. Was thinking lately of putting it in a B body street car deal, not sure.

After my car sat since 08 I spent most of the summer getting road worthy again. I had some cooling issues to sort out but since that is finally fixed, it's time to start enjoying the car more! I plan on driving it more and maybe some hits at the local track to see if the fogger works.

Hope all is well with you Ted, get though the heath issues and go enjoy yourself! Merry Christmas to you and a happy New Year!.


Jim
