checking to see how much it will cost to extend my shop driveway for a 1/4 mile............. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

moparts,
You better figure in the cost$$---- to put a big rubber-band across the end of your new 1/4 mi. shop driveway.-- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]-----JoeG

Hadn't thought about that big rubber band instead of a return road........just have to get a big catchers mit for the shop door...... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]....We were just going to let Tom make 1/8 mile passes.....it's less hard on the seat covers....if you know what I mean.

moparts,
There have been a few times ,in the past, running cars --where a pair of High-Performance pampers would have given me a sense of being prepared. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] -----What liquid diet is that car on????-----JoeG--

[moparts]

Alcohol.....and none of that light beer stuff.....High Performance Pampers [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img] I like that [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

[moparts]

It's done............didn't think I would ever be able to say that........check timing, change oil, check trans. fluid and rear end fluid and Tom is ready to to to York.

Will have the FC at the upcoming US 30/York show, July 11-12, part of the Supercar Registry display. Should arrive Friday AM. Then in 2 weeks, July 25-26, will make a special appearance at the Funnycar Reunion in Englishtown. Here the car will be united with Dick's daughter Valerie. And, if all goes as planned, will do a burnout or two, and maybe even stage and make a short pass. After that , we hope to have the car at the Gibb show, and of course, at SCR6. At SCR6, we hope to make a short exhibion pass, or at least do a burnout. Heck, if nothing else, fire it up behind the Gateway Center, as that seems to be a very popular place to "air the cars out".

Anxiously awaiting a little side-by-side action with "Little Hoss"! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

moparts,
What was the solution,with the exhaust from the headers affecting the paint???----Hope you didn,t re-route the headers under Tom's seat--That would give the expression--" BEING IN THE HOT SEAT"---a whole new meaning,at least for Tom---Congrats on finishing the car in time--- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img][ not light]--------JoeG

Well like always I opened my big mouth too soon.....the M&H slicks we were waiting for came in a few min. ago....so looks like we will have to mount them.....and don't everyone jump on us at once but we cut about 3 inches off the headers and fixed the problem.....they exit straight out now instead of turning up.....don't tell Tom but I have a wire coming from the mag to his seat.....kicks in at about 4k.......wonder if there will be anyone at York to help Tom fire the car since I won't be able to make it.......
