Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
14 days later. I'm not finished but will be by the end of the day if I have all the plastic rivets I need to put all the shields back in place in place.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The front spoiler was an experience. I did it wrong the first time. Finally got all the bent tabs close enough to assemble. I ran out of rivets so will have to re-supply today. Still to do pin striping, left front inter slash guard, wheel and tires. We still lack both rear quarters being repaired and the hood needs a little tender loving care. I have to install the new battery. New decals have to be made.
After the car is finished we will load up and improve our tie down method. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I really love Stock racing. It gives me something to do and try to get my stuff to the next level. I’ve invested time and money for parts and equipment since 1980. I have shelves of good ideas that did not help at all, in fact some of the stuff slowed it way down. But I’m always thinking of my next idea that might help or trying to figure out how my competition is going so fast.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We, Dumbo and I, drove to Indy last night to race at the NMCA race this weekend. Dumbo stayed in place and did not cause any problems. I’m not content with everything but we are going in the right direction.
Off topic but looks to be a really fast weekend at Indy. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
