thanks for the info.
i just wish the Hemi Shootouts would come to the east coast...
the west coast is quite a trip to make for me...
id make the trip up to maple grove no problem, but a cross country trip just isnt going to happen for me.
maybe someone who helps set these up, would put in a suggestion or something for a east coast show!
so, there may be some if they arent contested? sounds like ill be at richmond for all 3 days no doubt!
can someone post a bunch or pictures of these?
id like to see some under carriage shots to!
just shots of everything you can think of, i would enjoy.
we have a 67 cuda setup for bracket racing, and ours sits just like the AH cars do, and i just love to see the awesome wheelstand pictures of these, and just pictures in general!
thanks guys!
The shootout is run at Maple Grove in October, Indy, the Sportsnationals in Columbus, Belle Rose & Fontana. These are all NHRA events. In addition, there is one in Vegas at the Mopars at the Strip event.

Sealock, I wouldnt change a thing about that car...maybe polish the slots a little. Its got a cool nostalgic vibe about it. 
oh, im not changing much if anything really...
right now, im working on polishing the wheels, and just cleaning everything on the car. just freshening everything up basically.
so far i have rounded up the old wilwood brake calipers that need alot of rebuilding and work to get them working again.
polished the front wheels, along with the centercaps.
drained, cleaned, and refilled the 60 out back
and im ordering all new lug nuts which it really needs, ill be making the order today or tommorow for sure.
then, when it warms up, im borrowing the powerwasher from work, and completely detailing the car. powerwashing the engine bay to get it ready for the new powerplant. and going nuts on the under carriage to make it nice and degreased. also washing and waxing the entire car.
motor will be a 440 with a set of headers made specially for 440 barracudas.
i love this car. my grandfather owned it, and raced it a few times. then sold it. my dad was in love with it when he was my age, so he bought it from my grandpas friend. and hes owned it ever since. so now im a 3rd gen owner/ driver of this car!
you could say its a John Sealock family car i guess!
ill make a thread with more pictures and updates as i finish stuff on it!

WOW!!!!!, A third generation race car, how cool is that, I would never let the car be sold again. Good Luck with it!!
Joey
thanks man!
i could go on for hours and probably days with what i want to do to it in the future. i dont mean like restore it back to factory, but restore it to the quality of these SS/AH cars. everything just seems so perfect on them.
i have not one intention of selling...this car will be owned by me, and my son, and hopefully my sons son, and so on...
