Altered lingo:

A bit Loose,,smoking the tires from the 330 cones thru the traps! :roll:

Kinda out of shape,,,you could read both sides of the car from the 660 cones on! :shock:

I wasn't sure it was gonna make it down thru there,,,,Sliding sidways thru the finish line beams! :twisted:

Had to abort the run,,,,consisted of at least {2} 360's and must touch one or both guard rails! :wink:

got the rearend torn down for kathy's chevelle, everything looks good but i'm going to put all new bearings, races, and seals throughout. it wouldn't hurt a fat boy like me to do a little walkin, but i don't want her to have to :lol: Image

i ordered the sheetmetal today for the interior of the ojc, i get to pick it up tomorrow at lunch, i also discovered a fel-pro 2909 rear main seal for a line bored 400 small block :oops: duoh!! i guess i'll have to pull the motor again, the tranny went out in my 77 gmc so i need to get it out and took to eddie so i'll have something to drive again, i'll probably do that tomorrow after work, the hardest part will be that huge a$$ np205 transfer, those things ain't light, i'll post pics of the new floors when we get em in.

i got the draglist.com decals on the windows of the ojc today, for a picture see the draglist.com decals ready thread page 4, i also went and picked up some of the sheet metal for the ojc, i got the passenger side somewhat in place and rivited, lots of spot welding to do , we also installed the magic performance enhancing 1/2" carb spacer ( nitrous plate ) today, i didn't bring any jets with me today so we just black taped up the ends. i put a new transbrake button in yeasterday and forgot to mention it as my old one had gone bad so i'm back to doing tbrake burnouts in the shop again :twisted: sorry billy, i just can't help myself.

that's the "plan".....remains to be seen how far I'm off just "on the motor"....I feel like I'm gonna HAVE to spray it...just hope it won't require a Big hit.......with that said......IF (great big fat fuzzy IF!!) I ever win one of these lotto's.....you can just bet the farm that I'll shoe horn enough cubic inches in that go-cart chassis of mine to run the number like its a cake walk...(sawwy Rapid :roll: )......until that time.....this ol' lowbuck boat anchor is gonna have to get the job done (or get a dose of giggle juice right in the kisser!!)
