No sound? What is this? Super 8? :P

Did love the '70s metal-flake pea-green and bouncing front wheel.  ;D

Looking good.  Did you do anything to it over the winter?

Sorry about the no sound. It's an old camera with no sound but the video quality is better than the camera phone.The videos with sound seem more exciting though.Over the winter I put new brakes, new slicks, fixed the front end and changed the rear gears from 4.71 to 4.00. I still need to put drag shocks on the front to slow down the front end rise and hook up the trans brake.Once I get the front wheels to stay down I'll hit it with a 200HP shot. I love leaving with the wheels in the air but I don't want to go over backwards.How's the LSX Pinto? I want to see some photos.

Well, I've got to wire it up and run the fuel system and the cage are the major things.  I should have the time to get most it done next month.

Hey sorry for the late reply.  I just watched your videos again and the car looks great!

I do plan to race when I'm done, I ran out of cash so I haven't been working on it for a while.  I've got cash now but no time.  Hopefully I'll start back up in the fall/winter.

They are weld wheels but they aren't mine.  I've got a set of greg welds to go on it now.

Anymore visits to the track?

Scott
