Winter Projects

[fredjohnston]

building a 305 GT/HA car. soft HP rating and going to do all work myself.

[JP]

I will hopefully get the engine to my Super Stock Project and successfully merge it with the Phil Mandella built chassi. The project started in December 2004 and I'm really exited to finally hit the track...maybe... 2008.

Was that the blue FI Camaro at Dave Leys 11/4 race at Englishtown?

I have an Oldsmobile Starfire that I am starting on for stock. Plans were to use a 75 231 odd-fire V-6/auto combination, but some are trying to have me keep with the 305/auto ( mentioning no names here, Greg, ). Still keeping my options open, like starting with the V-6 first to get my feet wet, then see were we go from there. Time and money will tell if it gets completed by spring.

i am new to the forum and new to the class ,but not new to racing,ended up with a class win in the last points race in oct ,for 2008 season hope to have my engine parts back from the machine shop to asseemble and run h/sa ,70 amc rebel machine 390 working on replacing the ford 9 inch with a mopar 8 3/4 to be legal (blew up the model 20 several times no matter what i did) body is stock and solid so not much to do there but alot to fine tune gmonde

Way to go, a new muscle AMC on the block! I think that Rebel Machine will be more than competitive. Warning: You just got on the hit list here by mentioning that MOPR rear end. Of course it won't matter much...until you start going really fast!
There's a couple more AMC's on the horizon for '08. But I'll let them toot their own horns..

Myself, I'm trying to find .200 in '08. That's easy in SS, right?

[greg fulk]

AMC's are COOL! I love my old CJ7!.......that and the fact I've been watching A.H. Adkins for years! The coolest car I saw the frist time I went to the track ...back in 85!

[THE LEGEND]

There will be a long skinny car in my future to compliment my stocker and 10.90 car. My wife is fussing about it ( You don't need 3 race cars) but I will get my way in the end. We may put the 350/255 combo back in the Nova and use the crate motor in a 1978 nova(that will make 4 I'm going to be in trouble) for a buddy to drive some.

Lots of projects to little time .
