Sprint car progress

Well it's going good for the most part. The container will be here a week from today. The only part not here is the header, which was supposed to ship last tuesday, should be here tomorrow.

A small setback, I broke the temperature guage while cleaning it tonight, and the backup was broken too. I should be able to have one wednesday, but it won't be an old one.

I also have a small leak on the quickchange that is proving hard to fix.

Also, for the life of me, I can't find my camera, I may have left it in the car last time I had it out. If I find it tomorrow, I'll have some pictures

I have cranked the engine, but not started it yet, maybe wednesday if the header comes in.

YOu REALLY need to post some pics Frank, that car is sooooo cool, people need to have a look at all the work you have put into it.

I was lucky enought to see it in person a few weeks ago and let me tell you it is a very well done little car and Frank deserves a ton of credit for all the work he put into it.

Great job Frank.

You could just delay the departure and bring that old thing to Kentucky for us to ogle

Well it's 4:00. Has UPS been there with the header yet? My eyesight is such that I have trouble with those small nicesities, I want to see it together. GPster

The header is here, and on the car. I now have to make spacers to hold it in place. A few dull spots on the header, but Jet hot says they will polish out.
