Sooooo.....what is everyone planning???

Me ..I hope to have the 72 chop ready depending on which month this event is held for this year I will have a turbo'd single port 1600 just to get the bugs out of the turbo system, mainly the carb as it doesn't use jets but rather a needle that is tapered, which has to be profiled to get the proper air/fuel ratio.  I plan on droping the front by cutting a pie shape out of the frame head,  making some adjusters for the beam, and changing from a swing axel to an irs.  Still have to finish welding the door shapes to match the chop...Well first would be to bring the car here from Shanes house.. There's work to be done but can't start till other things are done at my house before the car,  I really hope this race isn't planned for April

So am I aloud to disconect the turbo and race James in his car?  ......Ohhhhhhhh.....right I forgot his car wont be ready yet.

Here we go.............Bring it on.........

.....Brian what is your address again?  I still owe you BEER!!!!  :huh:

Disconnect the turbo....then not only will it be a hella slow "turbo" but and even slower non - why not build a normal engine that WILL perform?
I believe May is the target month for the event.

Cornpanzy, I hear your doing a bunch of changes to your car? By the sounds of things it will be a trailor queen race car and  you will no longer be able to enjoy a nice long drive? fill us in on the changes.....
Here's a pic of Daves car if you havent seen it yet. Very nice orig black 67, Daves a bit of a drinker and womanizer so mind the beers and bra's :D






Hahaha, Just joking with ya Buddy :P

Yeah, i think we have a great bunch of fast cars in our area and this should be a lot of fun.
is that troy's and jeff's car's in the back ground?  I remeber seeing troys car at DQ a few spring breaks ago, and jeff's car at his shop while he was finishing up his motor.  

hey dave, I meet you a while back.  you art and I talked for a while.  my friend that had that 1970 porsche 911 talked with us as well...do you remember?

If more power is better. Then too much is just enough.
Why do it once when you can do it thrice?
