Not far from the Dog @ Suds. Bob Williams and Ron Finney live right around the corner from me. Gearhead palooza!

Is Dan Skelton still around there?
I bought the Dana 60 for the Camaro in my Avatar from him, he lived on the corner of Morgantown and Smith Valley roads

Yep, Dan is still at the Suds every Saturday night. Think he's down to a couple of hundred cars though.

Keep grinding on the Stang, someone has to finish one of these 2bbl 302's! Between the lack of warmth, lack of activity, and lack of funds, I am going nuts here!

Hey Joe, go read the "Wagon Train" thread. These FFFords may be dead before we even get'em sorted out.There's a new car with modern technology lurking in the background. If the new cars make it to "U", we're all hosed, LOL!!!! If someone out there is going to build one. Hope it surfaces quick before I sink much more money down this rat hole.

I am going to hope that it doesn't happen. Even if it did, who would want to spend that much money to only run13s-14s? Even if a guy did, he can only run one place at a time. I think we as a whole will be ok down in the lower classes. Worst case you could build a 2.3 and drag it to V-W? If anyone brought big bucks to there, then there's no help for anyone lol!

Ain't gonna happen. Nothing new has a low enough HP rating or is heavy enough. Teuton is just pulling your leg. Summers is entered at the Gators as a U/SA car so SOMEbodys combo is gonna take a hit. Other than that, the only thing for you to worry about is a Caddy.

Billy,

Just tuggin' legs back. I've got the car, gonna finish it. I'm just going to use it for a combo car anyway. If Summers clobbers the 78's, that may be an issue. Like anything else in this sport, you pay your money and take your chances.

The body is really clean. The interior sure is ugly. Not real wild about the 4 lug wheels, that's a minor issue at present. Now to see how much of a headache it will be to get this thing to the Indy points meet in April?

Robert nothing wrong with the 4 lug wheels as long as you use quality parts we've run them for years on both Tony and Beths cars and in P, Beth's car is a tank.
