Thompson Raceway Park has their spring meet Saturday (4/29/06) and Sunday (4/30/06). Canfield has their spring meet Friday (4/28/06), Saturday, and Sunday (4/30/06).
ANYONE for Thompson Sunday. Closer and very much smaller, or Canfield?

Hard to believe Spring Carlisle 2006 is history. You could call it the Meet that was Good, Bad, and Ugly. The weather was good and the weather really sucked. The crowd was huge with many venders, then there were few. The food, evening activities, and those great accommodations just added to the tota...

Finding that Build Sheet was a real coupe. I'd put it carefully into a plastic folder for use later on.

Well the ETC is being prepped to haul the Carlisle Wagon. The restored wagon will be on the swap meet grounds Friday early AM. The weather will be high 60's and 30 - 40% showers. With a shiny new wagon and tons of wax on the ETC, rain is almost a certainity. The ETC DOES have those "Speed Rated...

It took a few minutes to download that first video but absolutely worth it. That's going to be a really great truck. Congatulations on a job well done. Just like all the other details, I'm sure you'll work your way through what's left.

This project has been in the works a long long time. Can't remember how long it has been since Mostmint and I picked up the replacement 460. Your trip to Ohio to retrieve Tim's 460. Mouse in the valve cover. Machining the fly wheel. Sure hope that was an internally balanced crank. All the parts we w...

Howard Johnsons called to confirm our reservations. I acknowledged we wanted 2 rooms Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night. Do we still need two rooms Thursday night? When will you be arriving. So far looks like Walt, Paul, and I will be there for sure Thursday night. Once you have decided...

Let's see. 500 cubic inches, 500 foot-pounds of torque, 5000 pound car. Attempting to run 13's. Happens every time.

The gas tank has been installed.

Primed inner fenders, can their installation be far behind.

Now that the old 360 is gone, there's no going back. You're pretty much committed to making that shiny new 460 work. I heard something about your being committed. Hmmm!

Progess continues, although not yet visible. The 64 SS now has brakes, with the addition of the master cylinder and brake fluid. Also, it has a heating system. The heater core and box have been installed along with the heater control cables. http://upload4.postimage.org/81201/BrakesComplete.jpg http...

60 lbs. of oil pressure with a drill is sweet. Really reassuring. If you know the drill's rpms you could calculate the engine rpms. One revolution of the drill would be two revs of the motor if it were running. The shifter looks great with the carpeting around it. There must be a different boot for ...

Some kits just take longer to put together.

What luck! How many projects is one guy allowed to have. Boy am I jealous. Actual, except for driving through your hilly yard and around the house, that Corvette will go most any other place that the Jeep can go. Hmmm. I suspect your just laying the Jeep up because it's spring and you needed an excu...

Well, you do what ya gotta do! Any excuse to do a little serious drivin'. Now back to the Nova.
