    Randall I sure hope your dad doesn’t get upset when he has to repaint that thing after I blow the paint off that deck lid when I pass you after the giant crowd pleasing wheelstand the old dodge will pull when I launch it lol

    Jackson , hopefully you followed James's instructions on the Dana install. It would be a shame to give everybody a birds eye view of parts falling out during this paint sucking wheel stand!;) Sorry old buddy , I am in cold winter hell up here and needed to raze somebody. If it makes you feel better , Randall has the slick destroying burn outs down pat. Now he just has to work on getting it to hookup! Can't wait for spring! Larry

    Jackson I sure hope you keep doing those big wheelies. Because by the time you get done pleasing the crowd, me and the lil' Cobra will be long gone! LOL (Jedi Mind Games already starting!)

    Still freezing in Wisconsin. Say shouldn't you wake up the Cobra and rotate the oil and the tires? After all you don't want the oil to go stale or the tires to flat spot! ;) Larry

    I hear that Jackson, didn't seem so bad when I was younger. Lost the color in my fingers getting Ella's ride ready for her trip to work last night.

    Actually the cold weather makes me feel young again . I get into my coveralls, sweat shirts . boots and gloves and I feel just like I did when I was four and mom had got me all bundeled up in my snow suit, boots and mittens, in both cases I suddenly have to pee!:( Larry

    To bad the Merrill ice drags are canceled this year, you could put antifreeze in that Big Bad Dodge and come on up :D

    Well the Cobra is slowing coming out of it winter slumber. I had the rear wheels and tires balanced AGAIN. Way back I had to take the weights off of them as they hit calipers etc. We took the roof off, drilled out all the rivots in the rear lexan and replaced them with screws.

    AND we must be thinking of making a pass soon as I just gave in to my biggest pet peeve in the world and ordered another NEW Set of Simpson Cam Lock belts so we will pass tech at NHRA facilities etc. etc. etc.!

    Guess we are on the same fence. Hoping for the best, can't wait for Tooth to hammer down on his heap.
