I apologize for not responding to this, AG. Probably way too late now, but I had Dale Green do my stuff. My engine was one of the last ones he did before closing up shop. He technically wasn’t taking any more work when I approached him, but we know each other through racing, so he was willing...

I will definitely do this when they arrive!

Placed an order with VFN for a pair of fenders, hood, 5” RO23 scoop, and rear bumper (also damaged in the incident). Also going to order a stinger front bumper, since VFNs only option is a 66 with no marker light cutout provisions. I’m heading down the road of a long and expensive rehab with...

Do you have a phone # for him?

Anyone know the guy behind this thread? Thread is locked and inbox is full. Looking to see if he still has this car or parts for sale. FOR SALE - 1967 Belvedere 4dr parts car

My question to the OP is: How did you get a Satellite to weigh 3200?. I run all Calvert stuff as well, they have always treated me well, and have used my car in their ads a few times as well. I love my MT PBR’s; Mostly because they LAST. I’ve put well over 300 runs each of my last 2 sets...

Unfortunately, we banged the nose of LemonWedge up pretty badly. I’m in need of all new front sheetmetal, and I’m not finding a lot of options for a 1-year only 67 front end. I’m considering going fiberglass, but am unsure of the fit, finish, and look they might offer. I want the car to...

That is awesome, Doug! Building cars and competing with your son is a win all by itself. Then going to the track and each bringing home hardware…. Priceless! Congrats on a great start to the season! We’re still a few weeks away here in the rainy Pacific Northwest.

I run pretty big mufflers. These are Flowmaster FlowFX straight through. They don’t do much muffling. Although it is a dedicated race car, I have been known to roll it downtown on cruise nights now & then, which I wouldn’t do with fully open exhaust. These are 3”. One of the items on the...

I still need to jettison some weight. But last year it went 40’s in good air; was a mid-high 50’s car through the summer. If I can chop 2-tenths off that with this years updates, that’d put me in the 20’s & 30’s respectively. I’d be ecstatic with that. Really, Im just super hopeful that the...

I’ve been working diligently to get LemonWedge ready to go. New transmission appears to be ready to go. Can’t wait to see the results with the new converter. Swapped the stock seat setup for poly race seats and a 55-lb savings. Also got my belts updated; Pretty close to ready. Want to get...

This is great news!

Never thought of, nor heard of anyone doing this….. but it makes sense. I may check with John Cope to make sure he sees no problems here with the solenoid powering every time you click through the gears. but I like it. Brilliant as always, Doug.

I did not bring it up on the 2step (currently set at 3K) and let it go. But I did apply the brake, bring the RPMs up to about 2k and let it go just to verify it was working as it’s supposed to. Everything seemed correct. Thanks; hoping to have better luck than the past 2 seasons. Current...

Project complete! Got the car started today and took it around the block for a test drive. Initial response is that it feels very good. The new converter from A-1 appears to be noticeably looser at idle, yet feels somehow more connected. When you shift into gear, the feel is much more...
