This is sold. Parts from the rest of the car are next

Zandvoort ended with a good result. Did my best in qualifying which had me starting P20. Bad news is there were only 20 cars. Nonetheless P20 was better than my worst drop week and any improvement in position could only help. The guy fourth in points did not attend so this can only help. There were ...

A few pics from this car's past. I did a VIN search and it brought up a used car dealer site.

I noticed the Dodge emblem on the back has been removed, and it has window tint and mudflaps that it didn't have at this point.

* replace right rear upper control arm with the straight one from the Charger. At this point every control arm on both sides has been replaced. IMG_9996.JPG * extend the bolt holes on the subframe to allow the left upper control arm to go in further. Something is a little tweaked and I can't see it,...

There are a bunch of cars in the current list that are no longer current - so take a look at that.

My 89 Corvette race car project with the truck heads and cam ran 14.65 @ 91.93 MPH in its only pass to date.

I did not put the time in to get fast at Knockhill. Going really looked like a controlled crash every lap so I just figured out a decent line and made laps. I had a couple offs but those were only a small contributing factor to ending up 2 laps down. The sub minute laps and lack of pace were the pri...

Recently I came across a set of OEM wheels off a 2022 Challenger GT. The owner upgraded to wider wheels as he wanted 275 wide tires. These have 2200 miles and look like new.
The police steelies will be for snow tire duty.

41956 miles

* Changed out both toe links and found them both to be longer than the unbent parts from the parts car. Unfortunately this netted significant toe in even at max toe out adjustment A0B3F71B-4833-4C83-AA10-B998753A1AB2.jpeg * install the pigtail for the blind spot sensor module * the alignment pins on...

Road America was a fun race until lap 15 when my nemesis pitted me on the exit of turn 5 and I went straight into the inside wall which required a tow. Tonight is Knockhill which is a new to me short 1.26 mile circuit. There are two groups of corners on this track where driving fast feels like a con...

Really interesting documentary about the entire history of VIR: https://youtu.be/xbtOBX_hHu4

For A/C if I have to open a line that is the perfect time to feed in whatever lubricant/dye you want.

We ended up P9 which sounds OK except that was also last place. In practice I was like 1.5 seconds/lap off the leaders, not slowest for sure, but Tom was another 2 seconds slower than me. I still think a mistake free race would have netted P9 or P8 but that is not what happened. I had Tom qualify as...

sheet metal/bumper cover: * heavy lifting fixing the RR fender: move the metal for the inner fenders and all along the bottom into position. this side was a little more crushed in so additional work was needed: had to cut a large window into the inside support so I could access more of the sheet met...

For Long Beach I qualified in the back to avoid carnage and use attrition monster to my advantage. It worked. I had extremely slow lap 1 - gave up like 12 seconds to the leader - as I had to park at the fountain while the crash ahead got sorted out. From there though my pace slowly got better throug...
