That's a pretty awesome time there. I was looking at your old posts to see what you are doing. Is your car the ex Charles Myer's checkerboard Dart? If so you really brought that thing alive. Any chance of getting over to Knoxville for the Slant race on June 5-6? If not I hope to meet you some day, in the mean time keep us posted of your progress.

Yes Sir, the Dart is Mr. Myers old car. He has really helped me with what to do to build the engine. I will not be going to Knoxville in June but I am planning to go to Wilksboro in July.

Nice pass! I was looking for a post about the build but couldn't find one. What all have you done to the car? Later.

Cut the steel interior out and replace it with aluminum. Added a 10 point cage, replaced all the glass with lexan. Replaced the hood and trunk lid with fiberglass. Took the motor and built a long rod 225 slant.
