Have some unanswered questions.
Best auto and converter, headers, mufflers, Seats, harnesses.
Needs mufflers for the neighborhood.
Has 5.13 and new beefed up Eaton Posi.

It is for sale if someone wants to finish it.

FYI if it takes you 20 years to build a car, You're idle.

No family took priority! Starting and growing a business.
Got things done when there was time and money.
Other issues such as unreliable Restorers not competing tasks.
Having to find another and moving the car.
Not having a place to work on it.

Why be disparaging?

You missed my point which is easy to do when people aren't face to face. My point is, sitting on your ***** waiting for NHRA to solve your problems, is not the answer. Stay off the internet and use that time to make an extra $200 per week, then spend all weekend making your car right so you can get to racing. Remember the rules you change are your own rules, not someone else's. I'm sure you have rules and principals you live by that nobody can change, that's how you live and that's it. The NHRA has the same standard, like it or not.

Rules are always changing.
Never sit on my butt to get things done.
I have already impacted several rules changes over the decades communicating with IHRA and NHRA.
So have a lot of other racers..

Your problem is you do not like my feedback.
Instead you dirge me instead.

I am not going away !!

"D" has impacted NHRA rules, while running one of IHRA's "special" classes?
Which rules would that be, "D"?

NHRA is not going to add classes for a small number of older cars, from a defunct racing association most people would never run anyway. Give it up.

I would rather you not go away, I would rather you race for support rather than talk for support.
