Getting my son's new race car ready for 2017

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

I have a few things to do to get the car legal for racing next year.
Need new harness, driveshaft loop and RCI Trans blanket.
Starting him off with the slowest car of the fleet then he goes into the 63 Plymouth but this should work for now.
What do you think? TTI Headers with Flowmaster mufflers.
472 crate hemi with magnesium crossram with 2 holley 770's.
Hydraulic cam.

Oh,I need to get him a new helmet SA2010 and a fire jacket. Single layer of course.

Would you be interested in adopting a son, Dad?

You wouldn't be able to get the smile off my face if I was your son!

Great ride, sounds like a great combo

First car I raced was a 71 challenger with a small block. My dad pretty much financed the thing (HS kid w no money, but I had good grades). he made me do a lot of manual labor on the car including helping with building the engine, doing the swap, putting a 8 3/4 in it, etc. it wasn't a fast car but I learned how to bracket race and win. That tought me a lot of skills and also appreciation for what I had. I carry those lessons with me today. Hopefully you are teaching your son the same lessons, he's a lucky kid!

My son is a very good kid. Respectful, and is taking in an interest. Always asks if he can help me.
He started young.

He'll be getting into the 63 Plymouth once his cherry is broken .lol

All I'll need to do is add a Jr. to the window lettering.

I'm going to let him install it and supervise of course.
