Kym has taken up road course racing and he's now running a couple of Corvette's. His son Jason is very active in drag racing and his grand kids have also come up through Jr. Drags. As a matter of fact, his grand daughter has now stepped into an 1180 HP dragster and is loving it. Suffice to say, drag racing runs deep in this family.

MCR had this in Barn Finds in 2015. There was talk about doing a revisit after the restoration but it's been a while so who knows. One of Kym's friends has already talked with another mag about the full circle thing which might happen from his end. That's all I know.

Great build and great story!! I know you ran a Gardner exhaust...but I’m curious if you ran their deep tone muffler? In the video it sounds great! Also is it stock compression?

Yes, that is Gardner's deep tone exhaust and compression is 11:1.

Camshaft is a little different in this motor. It's a Comp Cams 12-673-4 which is their Nostalgia Plus 30 + 30 grind.

Had the car out for a few short runs lately, and yesterday we had a full polish performed on the car. This made the metallic green paint dance in the sun while adding some amazing depth. We'll install some NOS drip moldings later today and then it's out to the Rocky Mountains to put some break in miles on the drive line. After a few hundred miles, I'll change the fluids and it's then off to the Miller family. Here's another dozen pictures of the car as it's finished up and detailed prior to delivery. I'll shoot some video while we're out in the car later today.
