Well I got a little more done so i thought I would post it. I got the new rear end under the car and got the engine bay cleaned up and painted. Ready to install the K member and front suspension next. Also got the heads checked for cracks and off the the shop to get them done.

This is amazing..

U/SA National Record 12.94 seconds at 101.16 mph
Set by BJ Graham in a 76 Ford in Tuscon, AZ Feb 21, 2016.


R/SA and T/SA are at 13 flat by Briaine Philbrick 76 Monza
and Don Lisell's 77 Caddy which is pretty damn good.

But a 12 Second U/SA...wow !!
Guess V/SA is next to figure out how to run a 12...

Here is a prediction; All Mack will eventually find an 11sec ET in Q/SA.

Didn't a V/S (stick) Chevy truck with V6 run high 12's to be the #1 qualifier at Indy few years ago?

Hmmm....might be a new goal.
The closest I ever came Dan as a Q car was a 12.36 in 2013, and that was my very first pass ever in NHRA Stock Eliminator.
Too bad I did not back up that run or it would have been the record.

AL...you took a non standard combo and made it rock !
After you cut a 11 second ET you will become famous !!

THEN after that NOW what are you going to do?

Well I finally got started on the paint work. Life and cold weather has been getting in the way. The color in the pic's looks a little orange but it's eastwood Electric Yellow. Nice and bright.
