Respect!!! :3gears:

I've got a rev limiter on it, but no 2 step. I know it's going to be hard to drive, but we're just going to be there having fun anyway, right? I was trying to get the car finished by the end of March, but that didn't happen by a long shot. I wanted to get several test sessions in, but just didn't make it. I'm just going to be happy if I can get to the Car Craft event and SCR20. I'll depend on you guys to help me get the car to work right.

I've only had the car on a track 2 times, and I broke it both times. We had a local track called Windy Hollow Raceway. It's been closed for several years now, but there is a rumor going around that it might open again. It's a 1/8 mile track and wasn't very well maintained. The first time I tried running it I broke an axle. The second time I had 2 exhaust valves stick open and the pistons bent them. I hope things go better this time.

Beautiful car, good luck with it at your planned events this summer.

Getting ready for SCR21!

I had to come back and read this thread again. Awesome car and a great read while being cooped up here for the past 3-1/2 weeks.

Thank you. I need to update this. There have been several changes in the last few years.

Waiting...

OK, so here is what I've been doing for the last few months. New Strange Engineering double adjustable shocks all around, new Aerospace Components brakes all around, new AutoGear N24 transmission. I've always wanted a tunnel ram, so I found this old Offenhauser at a swap meet, did a little welding to fix some damaged holes and had it blasted. I looked for over a year for a pair of Holley 1850-1 carburetors with the same build date. These were both made on Jan 11, 1968. SP Carburetors in Bowling Green restored them, added down leg boosters and calibrated them to work with my combination. I swapped the modern valve covers for a set of Ansen covers that were on a jet boat for many years and were kind of rough. I had them blasted and got a set of Ansen spacers so that they would clear the stud girdles. The front suspension has new Del-a-lum bushings, extended upper ball joints and a few parts that I made.

Love it. New Trans is gonna be a fun touch and digging the tunnel ram with velocity stacks. I have a set of those BBC Ansen spacers I should perhaps list in the classifieds one of these days as I'm not using them.

On the suspension end of things, I also had double adjusted coil overs on my 55 post and they worked really well. I can't wait to see the car with the driveline back in it. Keep up the great work. I'll be watching to see it finished up.
