  2. A little more work today. ;) The cowl is done and the trailer is ready for paint. May 22nd is coming fast but I will be there. :D

    Great Job!

    Tim, you have a blower manifold for that Y-block? Lippy
     
  13. No! But I would like one. ;) After I recover from the cost of building the ch***is I think stuffing the engine is in order, after all it is certified to 7.50 so I might as well try to make it. :D
     
  14. OK! the car is home now and my niece Mika had to try it on for size. ;)

    Can't wait to see it finished.
     
  29. With no engine or trans. the ch***is weighs next to nothing, don't worry it will have more support as it gains weight. ;)
     
  30. OK! Got the engine in yesterday, now just have a few things to ****on up and it's ready to run. 22nd is still two weeks away but next weekend will be filled with "Dry Lakes" activity. :D
