I am around. Been working on Jessie's Jr. Dragster and hopefully today I will have everything on the car wrapped up and ready to go. Still have a restrictor plate to make, and a Dragster stand. Beyond that I need to figure out a trailer, pit vehicle to tow the dragster, and a few other things, but that will come in time. If I can get hers done today, I might either work on the coupe tomorrow, or was the vert. Both are needing some attention.

New motor should be shipping soon. Still got to get the new drivetrain goodies in and put that back in. New power adder needs to be ordered. Packing up the old S/C kit right and sending it off this week.

Got an update on the motor. Still atleast 2 weeks out on a crank. Then a week to assemble, hen a week to ship, then 2-3 weeks to install. Looks like my car may run mid June.
Good thing Lisa said I can go race the mustang. I'll probably run it Friday.

He will be 95 this weekend. Maybe next week.. I would love to try my car against the 5.0

Mustang ran consistent 13.0@109s. Full weight, full tank, didn't mess with tires or anything.

On the coast you would be in the low 12s.. That's pretty good. Still want to run against a 5.0

Going to get some tweaks and some suspension to get it to hook. The goal is to run 12.6s without adding any power. Should be easy enough.
