Jeez Jim, what a dump! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Wow man, it looks super! Are you sure that 32 foot deck isn't really an observation deck???????? Should be like watching surgeons in a hospital amphitheatre... What will you charge for a viewing seat???:laugh: :laugh: Nice job, bud. Hope to get out there some day.
Sure, now you get the hip new shop. See how you are. Seriously, congratulations on the new digs. Looks beautiful. If anything else rears its ugly head, I'll be up again.

Adam, Having seen the car on a couple of occasions, I can tell you the engineering and workmanship on it is first class all the way! :TU:
I don't play the lottery... but I have a super strong urge to go out and buy some tickets right now! :gt: I've never been so jealous in my life! Looking great Jim. The shop and the cars! :TU:
Well, not done quite yet.. but we have located the problem.. When the parting line of #3 rod bearing is at the point of the screwdriver.. that's never a good sign.. :gt:
Thanks for all the kind words guys.. Now I just have to work 12 hour days for about a month to catch up.. took 3 weeks to move.. and get all set up. Never realized how much stuff I really have, until it was all on one place. JW
John.. It had to be mild steel, due to the fact that was what his front clip was built from.. NHRA does not allow you to mix and match mild and moly.. We figure about 27-2800 race ready with driver, but will know very soon for sure.. JW
Same money on building a 70 or 72 Bruce.. give or take a little for drilling out the oil feed hole on a '70 block. JW
And thank you very much Dale for coming out and spending a whole Saturday helping with the move! It was much appreciated, and you will soon know how I return favors.. :Brow: JW
