Who's going to be ready for opening day?

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Just finished installing the trans. and new converter in my car. That's all I had to do this year to be ready. I'm just 3 quarts low of tranny fluid to fire it up and get it loaded. I can't wait. Come on spring. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today. I'm glad I still have the spark!

Not me yet, My current car isn't really a racecar anyway, more of a Street/Strip toy now, so many times I think, man I wish I would have kept my old car, wouldn't have sold it, because everything done, sorted out & ran really well {but how many of us always say that ?}, I have another few months of Ol'Pops going thru heart/cardio & stress tests, possibly ultimately surgery {he's much better, but realistically I don't see things improving much, as he's getting older everyday}, hampering any real traveling, may go to a few local deals in Sacramento, Bakersfield & Sears Point to spectate... you gotta do what you gotta do, I live vicariously thru others lately... Looking forward to all your photos & videos this coming Race season... Good luck, kick some a$$

I should be ready.....
Finishing up the few little items from the Converter swap, and battery relocation... Then I'll weld in my frame connectors that have been lying next to my car in the garage since last summer.... Also making (AutoCad Drawing) a nice drive-shaft loop for the production guys to fab up at work.... Stealing this method....

my only toy is my 68 RR now... old not so good photos, a few changes & cleaned up mor, just a street strip car, different wheels for racing, but not much has changed, still haven't painted it, it's nothing special, still not even close to being done... I have a ton of parts I still haven't installed yet until I get the rest of parts for my final project then I will take it apart & reassemble with new parts after paint {it'll be the original LL-1 Surf Turquoise Metallic Poly, with semi-Black on the hood & gloss black bottom, below the body line}... I sold my finished 68 RR Silver racecar a few year back now, my 23 Altered 540ci Milodon Hemi Blown Inj. went like 8 years ago now, 2007 was last pro-quality car was sold, Brand X started life as a 94 Trans Am {rebodied with a 2000 TA carbon fiber Harrys Glass, doors, front end, hood trunk, big Pro-Mod wing etc. Pro-mod SFI spec.} Top Sportsman/Calif. Outlaw P/S Assn. light double rail tube chassis car w/funny car cage, 2150lbs w/ballast {with out 250#driver} with a BBC 540ci twin split Dominators w/bunch of N20 or 526ci Enderle Alky Inj. Blown, depending on what year & what I was doing... Sorry not any digital photos of any of my old racecars, never been a camera guy, always in the car... I just got into using a digital camera recently, as you can tell by the lousy photos, my old partner has a ton in print, I have to get some & convert them to digital someday...

Heck, I hope so. My trailer roof collapsed from snow. Got it jacked up, new roof bows coming. Haven't even touched the car,as my friends 31 Dodge/gen 3 Hemi project is on the hoist. Have to go through the trans, engine bearings, and swap the gear in the 64. I've got at least 8-9 weeks.

HOpe get my heep out in a month or so. Money issues again are forcing me to take longer to buy some needed accessories .
My wife is getting really peeved at me for spending last months household bill money.
i might be living in my garage if I do it again.

Ouch... not a good idea!

 

[razreddobie]

Got all of the parts (430 gears, 3000 stall converter, new distributor) just waitin for mother nature to cut me a f**kin break!!!!!!!!!!! It's back in the 20's and more snow comin this week.

 

[bobtile]

Hmmm, this is a tricky question. I have plenty of time to work on my car, as I have no work coming in for the last two months. Now, I have no money to buy the things I need as I have had no work for the last two months. I do however have a couple of things here that I can put on the car in the meanwhile, however, my car is buried in storage right now so I can't do anything to it at the moment. So, that being said, I guess I'm as ready as I was last year.

I think theres at least 8-9 weeks for the snow to melt.

 

[572]

I hope to be running by next week. Will wait awhile till concrete warms up an let some other cars line the tracks with some fresh rubber first.

 

[ironside]

572, seems I remember seeing your car in National Dragster. Super comp wasnt it? Good luck this year.

 

[W8avenger]

I just found a 10% off code so I went and bought the last few things I needed
And my wife just threw a huge fit.
I just can't stop buying even though my cash flow is low.
Well at least I can get my car finished for the upcoming sseason ill deal with her later.
