Any more info on the AH car to share? Or maybe a few pics? Either way, best of luck with both A, AH cars.

Re: SS/A Corvette
 
Older AH car with a lot of history:

Bob Reed automatic car
Parham,OD Powell (tagged wall at Etown)
Bucky Hess (won 1st Indy Hemi shootout with this car 2001)
Darrel Marvell

Keir chassis fully updated by Keir with 7.50 cert. Bare shell in body shop now so no pics.
The ironic part is I bought this vette as it was already painted (beautifully I might add) while my '68 cuda sat in body shop jail LOL! The other factor was that I felt it would be easier (cheaper) to learn a clutch initially behind a BBC than behind a Hemi. The plan was eventually run a stick in AH car.

I went from body shop jail to chassis shop jail! And I have no problems with the chassis and bought knowing it needed finishing. I am very particular and like things a certain way, especially when the plan is to go where no conventional BBC SS car has gone before. The corvette is a very unique car to race. Anyone that has built or raced one will understand. A lot of compromises as space is VERY tight. Add a larger framed driver and a liberty that needs to be rowed, 7.50 f/c cage and well, you need a very competent person working on it!

Again, thanks for the interest and I will keep all updated when the vette does return. I got very pumped up to run this combo as again, it is a VERY beautiful car and I believe will be fast and more importantly, a lot of fun to drive!! Real race cars have sticks!!

I expect both cars to be like your SS/DA car, rolling works of art!

Please do keep us posted on both cars.
