Finally Joined

Sorry for going MIA. Started a new job on Aug 8 and its nearly drained all of my time since.

I ended up going to 2 more events in 2022, neither of which I received good content to post. That last one though was the first time the car didnt break.
This year I re sealed the top end of the engine, changed injectors, and tweaked the tune on the car. Also switched out my intake spacer for a billet one, as my previous started to warp and crack. 20230204_095147_HDR.jpg20230204_104019_HDR.jpg
I also went and bought a truck, an 01 Ram 1500.

Rust free with a crack free dash, nonetheless.

And Ive also got my gold 96 in the home stretch. Engine and blower are working well, everything else still needs work. So will be messing with it more this year.

I did get a set of Cobra Rs for it though, going well with my late 90s theme on its build.

Red car recently met it's match. A 60mph hit to a concrete wall.

Given how expensive rust free cars by me have gotten, and that this body has now been "christened", I am going to humor the idea of fixing the chassis.

I will be updating this thread, along with my BirdCats build thread, on the progress.

Sad to see that. Sometimes that is the price you pay for the awesome fun you were having. What a rush.

Unfortunately it is part of the game. At some point the car will get written off. But, I'm hoping I can make it last a little longer. The next few weeks will be interesting.
 
I'm back.

Back section is cut off. Firewall is "fixed". Built a new rear frame for a fiberglass clip and am currently building a cage. IMG_20250129_191222472.jpgIMG_20241230_194856821.jpgIMG_20250106_075005_065.jpg
I was planning on building an aluminum headed, turbo charged 302 with a T56 but I'm rapidly running out of time for the new season. So the engine is getting pulled, getting a new intake and lower end bearings, a larger oil pan, and then getting reinstalled.

Making some serious progress, can’t wait to see it finished!!
