Nothing to see here...

oh its a CRATE engine?

Its a crate long block. RFD wasnt able to make my heads after 5 months and getting another set by race season wasnt going to happen. Gotta do what you gotta do... Shafiroff, Sunset, Reher Morrison or Quality Engine.. I dont built my own shortblocks..

With the prices I have paid Wayne at Quality for engine assembly I wouldn't even bother with it either!

Looks good Jim....hope this one actually goes down the track clean.

Jim,

Matt, Dave and I have decided to chip in together and purchase a box of Depends for you. We figured since you must want to keep the interior clean, maybe if you wear these you may actually get a full pass in. Unlike when you weren't wearing them when in the Vette.

^^^Ouch, thats gonna leave a mark. :bom:

The good thing is, I was just reading about hammertone paint and I guess it makes the shitstains virtually invisible. So unless some slips through the seams of the tinwork and gets on the rear tires, it shouldn't be a problem.

Hey so where the hell is this thing? is it near completion?

[63vette]

Work is killing me, so I am way behind. I finished the wiring last night but it still needs lexan and paint on the wing & door handles.
I doubt the thing will make it in the 7s anyway. Just stirring up shit.

Might have to race both days (or Sunday instead of Saturday) then.

As for what I know about Brummer's track - I posted it in that thread. Something about this racer's daughter or grand daughter and some connection to Greg and dirt work in progress and hoping to open gates in the spring.
