Hard to Type on the road to Atlanta and Loadout for Pomona....Damm loadout took 4 hrs on Wed, then we drove down here to Atlanta for the FI, Tommorow I plumb it here in Atlanta, and next week out to Testing.....

Car is here and theyre still working on it.......

It works well, I hate driving, Dallas is only 12 hrs, so 1 day, hopefully next week the weather is good there for testing, then another 2 days (12 hr driving days) to Pomona.....

JR Hill of Custom Motorsport Painting Mansfield, Ohio . painted the car and does a great job, plus he is a good friend of mine.

It is perty, I am always amazed at people who have the patience and skill to paint well....it is an art.....my paint is a hack....but thats ok its acceptable to us...........I saw you posted pics of it in progress......I was pretty sure that Jeg would pic one of the best in the area to represnent this car.....

Wish I had the "budget" to have had our car painted. One of Arfons old painters was going to do it on the cheap (4k), for the whole car upside down right side out, leaf and scheme, but because of budget opted not to, the money went into other items to make it go instead of perty....but sponsors went wrap. I STILL like paint though. Its "tangible" and requires real skill to do right. I am jealous of his car.....I have to say from a detail perspective , I called Holt to have him build the car, but his timing was off, now I see why he was busy with Jeggies car Does anyone (or Holt willing to say) who the other car you guys are doing is for ?

Cheers

Chris

We are not currently building a Drag Pak car, but will do Pancake's whenever we want to get going on it. We have several SS/AH cars to update, a SS/AA, and a bunch of other projects in progress. Sorry we couldn't get to yours! We now have a better idea of how much time/effort it takes to do one.

And yes, JR Hill painted the car and did an awesome job!! It looks as good underneath as it does on top. Sorry I didn't say it before!

Salright, I was just talking to the old man about that yesterday, half of everyone thinks we have screws loose (had, still do...) when we gave them timelines for the car and parts.

But I knew to get it ready for Pomona we had to hit certain milestones by certain points.

We are happier than can be with the work Mike did , and Im sure we would have been equally happy with yours, the timing was super fortunate, otherwise I would have had to do it....and well......while I may have been a pipefitter in my previous life, I can bend and weld and fit.... I know enough to know I dont know squat about chassis and setups like you chassis guys do.....lol (probably why I call you chassis guys)

Pankcake....that was it, I knew you had 2 of em hiding down there at the "undisclosed location"

I couldnt remeber who.

Congrats again. Ill shutup now......
