Project Junkyard Dog

Lesson number 1 for the newbie stocker builder: It will not get done as soon as you hope, especially if you are on a tight budget!

That being said, I won't be racing at National Open, but getting to announce the whole weekend and see what it's about will be well worth it. I can't wait to get back to work on my beast!

Well, the Open has passed, and work is slowing down, so I can safely say: The 'Dog will attempt to run, Sept. 28-29th, last race of the season. I am going to sneak in some time-only passes. I will have total cost and times the following week, good or bad! Just need to square up on my converter and slide the trans in!

Thanks for all the support and advice, especially, Billy Nees, Neil Smedley, Mark Yacavone, and Bob Shaw!

Question, how picky are they on appearance? Is something like a broken rf turn signal lens a deal-breaker, or bad paint (I love my patina) even if the car is straight and rust-free?
How about Grilles? I need a 78 anyway...
