Well I was racing, three weekends in a row in fact. Two quick 16 races and ran the NHRA Divisional at Tucson Raceway. Well on our last race of what hopefully wont be the year we had a little booboo. A gust of swirling wind caught the front end of my car when we had it off to cool down and ad fuel. Well as mu luck would have it the front end took flight, even with 7 of us standing around it got away. It ended up into the back of the golf cart then into the back of my motorhome. Cracked it in a few places and broke one of the support brackets for the tree. So we got to do some body and paint work. We had the Vegas Mopar race coming up along with others that had been cancelled now but it was a scramble to get it done. Once things got cancelled we decided to add some to the look of the car and I wish I would have just done this to begin with, and that was to ad a lower grille. Anyway here are some before and after pics and a video of the finished, well paint wise product. Hope you all like it..

Looks good but bummer it happened. Still working but since we can't go out on weekend's I started putting new Lexan in and replacing some interior tin work, been wanting to do this for a few years,
Now if Steven was closer I would get this thing sprayed Destroyer Gray......

Looks nice.
After getting a head start with testing in March before the regular points season here in NC (was going to be Mar 28); my car is just sitting.
Since there is no firm date when racing will start this year; I have been putting my time into my yard, and organizing/storing my car parts. Still have stuff in boxes stuck in my house garage (attached) from the move in the spring of 2018.... shocked Even though the new building was "finished" in February 2019.

At least my car is ready to run brackets.
